🚀 Quick Start (3 Steps)
Step 1: Setup Upstash Redis (2 minutes)
- Go to: https://console.upstash.com/
- Create free account
- Create database:
redis-tat-dev - Copy URL:
rediss://default:PASSWORD@host.upstash.io:6379
Step 2: Configure Backend
Edit Re_Backend/.env:
# Add these lines:
REDIS_URL=rediss://default:YOUR_PASSWORD@YOUR_HOST.upstash.io:6379
TAT_TEST_MODE=true
Step 3: Restart & Test
cd Re_Backend
npm run dev
You should see:
✅ [TAT Queue] Connected to Redis
✅ [TAT Worker] Worker is ready and listening
⏰ TAT Configuration:
- Test Mode: ENABLED (1 hour = 1 minute)
- Working Hours: 9:00 - 18:00
- Redis: rediss://***@upstash.io:6379
🧪 Test It (6 Minutes)
- Create Request with 6-hour TAT
- Submit Request
- Open Request Detail → Workflow tab
- Watch Alerts Appear:
- 3 min: ⏳ 50% alert with full details
- 4.5 min: ⚠️ 75% alert with full details
- 6 min: ⏰ 100% breach with full details

🔍 Troubleshooting
No Alerts Showing in UI?
Check:
- Redis connected? Look for "Connected to Redis" in logs
- Request submitted? (Not just created)
- Waited long enough? (3 min in test mode, 12h in production for 24h TAT)
- Check browser console for errors
- Verify
tatAlertsin API response
Debug:
-- Check if alerts exist in database
SELECT * FROM tat_alerts
WHERE request_id = 'YOUR_REQUEST_ID'
ORDER BY alert_sent_at;
Alerts Not Triggering?
Check:
- TAT worker running? Look for "TAT Worker: Initialized" in logs
- Jobs scheduled? Look for "TAT jobs scheduled" in logs
- Redis queue status:
# In Upstash Console → CLI: KEYS bull:tatQueue:*
Confusing Times in Test Mode?
Solution:
- Look for purple "TEST MODE" badge
- Read note: "Test mode active (1 hour = 1 minute)"
- For production feel, set
TAT_TEST_MODE=false
📈 Sample KPI Queries
TAT Compliance This Month:
SELECT
ROUND(
COUNT(CASE WHEN was_completed_on_time = true THEN 1 END) * 100.0 /
NULLIF(COUNT(*), 0),
2
) as compliance_rate
FROM tat_alerts
WHERE DATE(alert_sent_at) >= DATE_TRUNC('month', CURRENT_DATE)
AND was_completed_on_time IS NOT NULL;
Top Performers (On-Time Completion):
SELECT
u.display_name,
u.department,
COUNT(DISTINCT ta.level_id) as total_approvals,
COUNT(CASE WHEN ta.was_completed_on_time = true THEN 1 END) as on_time,
ROUND(
COUNT(CASE WHEN ta.was_completed_on_time = true THEN 1 END) * 100.0 /
NULLIF(COUNT(DISTINCT ta.level_id), 0),
2
) as compliance_rate
FROM tat_alerts ta
JOIN users u ON ta.approver_id = u.user_id
WHERE ta.was_completed_on_time IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY u.user_id, u.display_name, u.department
ORDER BY compliance_rate DESC
LIMIT 10;
Breach Trend (Last 30 Days):
SELECT
DATE(alert_sent_at) as date,
COUNT(CASE WHEN alert_type = 'TAT_50' THEN 1 END) as warnings_50,
COUNT(CASE WHEN alert_type = 'TAT_75' THEN 1 END) as warnings_75,
COUNT(CASE WHEN is_breached = true THEN 1 END) as breaches
FROM tat_alerts
WHERE alert_sent_at >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '30 days'
GROUP BY DATE(alert_sent_at)
ORDER BY date DESC;

🌟 Production Best Practices
-
Monitor Redis Health
- Check connection in logs
- Monitor queue size
- Set up alerts for failures
-
Regular Database Maintenance
- Archive old TAT alerts (> 1 year)
- Refresh materialized views if using
- Monitor query performance
-
Test Mode Management
- NEVER use test mode in production
- Document when test mode is on
- Clear test data regularly
-
Alert Thresholds
- Adjust if needed (currently 50%, 75%, 100%)
- Can be configured in
tat.config.ts - Consider business requirements
-
Working Hours
- Verify for your organization
- Update holidays if needed
- Consider time zones for global teams
