🚀 Next Steps / Recommendations
Immediate (Before Production)
Configure Alert Channels:
bash# Set environment variables in wrangler.toml SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL = "https://hooks.slack.com/..." ALERT_EMAIL = "alerts@monotask.dev" PAGERDUTY_KEY = "your-integration-key"Create KV Namespace for Alerts:
bashwrangler kv:namespace create "ALERTS" # Add binding to all wrangler.toml filesTest Alert Delivery:
typescript// Send test alert await alerter.sendAlert({ severity: 'warning', message: 'Test alert - please acknowledge', // ... });Import Dashboard:
- Upload
cloudflare-dashboard.jsonto Cloudflare Analytics - Configure widget data sources
- Set refresh interval (30s recommended)
- Upload
Short-term (Week 1-2)
Integrate Middleware into Workers:
typescript// Example: api-gateway/src/index.ts import { createErrorTracker, createPerformanceMiddleware } from '../monitoring'; export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx) { const errorTracker = createErrorTracker(env, { workerName: 'api-gateway' }); const perfMiddleware = createPerformanceMiddleware(env, { workerName: 'api-gateway' }); try { return await perfMiddleware.trackPerformance(request, async (tracker) => { // Your handler code with tracker available }); } catch (error) { return await errorTracker.onError(error, request); } } };Set Up Logpush to R2:
bash# Configure logpush destination wrangler logpush create \ --destination r2://monotask-logs/ \ --dataset workers_trace_eventsSchedule Monitoring Review:

// Track database query
const tasks = await tracker.wrapDbQuery(() =>
db.query('SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE project_id = ?', [projectId])
);
// Track external API
const githubData = await tracker.wrapExternalApi(() =>
fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/...')

await tracker.endRequest(request, response, requestId);Custom Metrics
typescript
// Track business events
await tracker.trackCustomMetric(
'agent_execution_completed',
1,
'count',
{
agent_type: 'implementation',
success: 'true',
duration_category: 'fast'
}
);Full Integration

export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
const errorTracker = createErrorTracker(env, {
workerName: 'api-gateway',
captureStackTraces: true,
});
const perfMiddleware = createPerformanceMiddleware(env, {
workerName: 'api-gateway',
enableDetailedMetrics: true,
});
try {
return await perfMiddleware.trackPerformance(request, async (tracker) => {
// Your handler logic with tracker available for custom metrics
const result = await handleRequest(request, env, tracker);
return new Response(JSON.stringify(result), {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});
});
