During two months on the intershop/intershop-pwa repository, Philipp Borchert enhanced server-side rendering observability and monitoring. He introduced configurable SSR metrics granularity, allowing teams to select between default and detailed levels using METRICS_DETAIL_LEVEL, and updated Docker configurations and migration guides to support these changes. Addressing a memory leak when Prometheus monitoring was disabled, he improved system stability and resource efficiency. In a subsequent release, he refined Prometheus metrics by converting pm2_process_restarts from Gauge to Counter, ensuring accurate cumulative tracking and reducing alert fatigue. His work leveraged TypeScript, Node.js, and Prometheus, demonstrating depth in backend monitoring and deployment tooling.

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)).
