SaaS / Technology — Concept

An observability dashboard for data pipelines where you can rewind any minute of the last 24 hours — and watch an incident happen, page someone, get rolled back and drain away.

Drag the strip, or press “Replay the incident”. Open the full dashboard →

Concept — not a client project

Visual Direction

No imagery at all, by design — no photography, no 3D, no renders: the product is the picture. Everything on screen is drawn from the data: a flow map of six pipelines between their sources and destinations where line weight is volume, a 24-hour strip with the incident marked on it, and charts with yesterday dashed behind today. A working application rather than a marketing page, and nothing of the purple-gradient AI-product look.

IBM Plex Mono for every number, time, pipeline name and section heading gives the interface a technical, data-native feel and keeps figures aligned as they change; IBM Plex Sans carries labels and prose — a genuinely different pairing from any other concept here.

Typography

Palette

Cool off-white (#F7F8FA) and ink, with a warm amber (#C2570C) as the one accent — and amber only ever means trouble: a degraded pipeline, a breached threshold, a backlog. A quiet dashboard is almost colourless, so a problem is visible from across the room.

$ arc replay --at 12:51 — the flow, three hours ago

Arc's flow map mid-incident: four sources on the left, six pipelines in the middle and five destinations on the right, line weight showing volume; image-transcode is outlined in amber at 50 events a second, 1.64 s p95 and 115k behind, while its input from mobile-sdk keeps arriving.

Layout Logic

A fixed sidebar and a working column, as real application architecture. The time bar sits above everything it controls: rewind it and the four numbers, the flow map, the throughput chart and the event log all move to that minute together. Selecting a pipeline opens a side panel with its throughput, p95 and backlog over the day, what it reads and writes, and a pause switch; the pipelines table shows the same minute, with a 24-hour sparkline per row.

Drag the strip — or click a chart, or any line of the event log — and the whole dashboard rewinds; events after the cursor fade, because from there they haven't happened yet. "Replay the incident" plays the afternoon's bad deploy minute by minute: latency climbs, the queue fills, the on-call engineer is paged and acknowledges, the rollback lands and the backlog replays at 130% until it has caught up. The simulation is deterministic per UTC minute and follows each region's real local time, so Singapore is busy while Virginia sleeps; pausing a pipeline holds its input, and resuming replays it.
