24 Commits • 8 Features
Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered reliability, scalability, observability, and security improvements for the omi stack. Implemented reconnection-storm safeguards in backend-listen, added metrics scraping with HPAs tuned for cost efficiency, and exposed Pusher metrics to improve observability. Hardened the metrics pipeline with basic auth and HMAC-based comparisons, fixed metric authentication flow, and strengthened health checks and robustness. Also addressed an essential deployment artifact gap by adding a missing pdb/yaml file to ensure consistent environments. These workstreams reduce outage risk during spikes, improve scaling responsiveness, and provide clearer runtime visibility for operators and developers.
