CedrusDB

The project

CedrusDB is the web console for a managed database service. Engineers use it to check a production cluster's health, look inside tables, run queries, decide who has access, and recover data when something goes wrong. It has seven pages, each designed in a dark and a light theme: Dashboard, Tables, Queries, Users, Backups, Monitoring and Settings.

Key features

• Cluster overview. Latency, CPU, storage and active connections at a glance, read/write throughput and resource charts, and a log of recent operations by severity.
• Table browser. Pick a table from the schema list, then switch between its data, schema and indexes, with filters, sorting and row counts.
• Query editor. Saved queries on the left, a SQL editor with syntax colours and a read-only mode, and results with row count and run time underneath.
• Users and access. Members, service accounts and roles, with status and last activity, plus the access policies (MFA, role-based permissions) in plain words.
• Backups. Latest snapshot, recovery window and storage, a history with one-click restore, and point-in-time recovery.
• Monitoring. Node health with replication lag and an alert that explains the problem and the next step.
• Settings. Cluster details, a copyable connection string, preferences and a separate danger zone.

Visual style

The console is built for long sessions and dense data, so it is calm: graphite surfaces in dark (cool grays in light), one indigo for actions and the active tab, and a strict set of data colours for the charts (blue for reads, violet for writes, emerald for memory, orange for CPU). Status uses its own small palette (green, amber, red) that is never reused for decoration. The SQL editor and IDs use a monospaced face, so code reads like code.

The full UI kit for this project is in the CedrusDB design system.
