LogPulse — MVP setup

Everything here runs free/local, no cloud accounts needed.

1. Start the databases

docker compose up -d

This starts Postgres (localhost:5432) and MongoDB (localhost:27017).

2. Run the backend

cd backend
cp .env.example .env
go mod tidy
go run ./cmd/server

Server starts on http://localhost:8080. Check GET /health.

3. Run the frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Opens on http://localhost:5173, proxying /api and /ws to the Go backend.

4. Try it end to end

1. Sign up at /login.
2. Send a test log:

   curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/logs \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"app_name":"payments-api","level":"error","message":"failed to charge card"}'

3. Watch it appear live on the dashboard.
4. Use the filter bar to search by app/level/keyword.

What's built (MVP, 4 features)

• JWT auth (signup/login) — Postgres
• Log ingestion endpoint — MongoDB
• Live log stream — WebSocket hub
• Search/filter — MongoDB query on app/level/keyword

What's next (v2, once MVP works)

• Alert rules (threshold-based, e.g. "5 errors in 60s") + email/Slack notification
• API keys per application instead of open ingest endpoint
• Dashboards/saved searches
• Swap MongoDB regex search for Elasticsearch/OpenSearch once volume grows
