PROFILE

Philipp Borchert

Worked on the intershop/intershop-pwa repository to enhance server-side rendering observability and monitoring. Delivered configurable SSR metrics granularity, allowing teams to adjust detail levels for Prometheus metrics using METRICS_DETAIL_LEVEL, and addressed a memory leak when Prometheus monitoring was disabled, improving stability and resource usage. Updated Docker configurations and documentation to support these changes and streamline upgrades. In a subsequent release, improved the accuracy of SSR monitoring by switching the pm2_process_restarts metric from Gauge to Counter and reporting only new restarts, reducing alert fatigue. Utilized TypeScript, Node.js, and Prometheus to deliver targeted, maintainable backend and monitoring improvements.

February 2025 — Focused on enhancing observability for SSR in intershop-pwa by delivering targeted improvements to Prometheus metrics. The pm2_process_restarts metric was switched from Gauge to Counter to track cumulative restarts, and logic was added to report only new restarts, delivering more accurate monitoring and actionable alerts. This change reduces alert fatigue and supports faster incident response and capacity planning. Commit 821572835711d3aaa42dc396d70dab2b1dd16ee6 (fix: change SSR metrics from Gauge to Counter (#1747)).
