Watch round-robin request routing across multiple backend servers and inspect each frame in the sequence.
System Flow
Client → Load Balancer → Server 1/2/3
Behavior
Requests distribute across servers in round-robin order. Each server handles requests sequentially.
Observe cache hit, cache miss fallback to Postgres, and invalid-key lookups with per-frame debug details.
System Flow
Client → Redis ↔ Postgres
Behavior
Requests check Redis first. On miss, they fallback to Postgres and update the cache.
Track endpoint-based routing from API Gateway to backend services with Redis/Postgres flow snapshots.
System Flow
Client → API Gateway → LB → Servers, Cache, DB
Behavior
Gateway routes endpoints to appropriate services. Full chain with caching and persistence.
Simulate signed URL upload flow where server issues a valet key and client uploads directly to cloud storage.
System Flow
Client → Server → signedURL → Client → Storage
Behavior
Client gets a signed URL from server, then uploads directly to storage, offloading traffic from server.
