01Introduction
IT service providers juggle tickets, assets and client environments across many tools. This study designs a single operations dashboard backed by a clean REST API — the kind of internal software that saves teams hours every week.
02Challenge
Data lives in spreadsheets, a ticketing tool and a monitoring service, none of which talk to each other. Reporting means manual exports, and access control is all-or-nothing.
03Objectives
- A versioned REST API that consolidates clients, assets and incidents
- Role-based access so engineers, managers and clients see the right data
- Dashboards that answer daily questions without exports
04Approach
Model the domain
Clients, environments, assets and incidents are modelled as MongoDB collections with explicit indexes for the queries the dashboard runs.
Design the API first
Resource-oriented endpoints with pagination, filtering and consistent error responses are specified before UI work starts.
Integrate, don't replace
Existing tools push events through authenticated webhooks, so teams keep the software they know.

06Design & development
The API is an Express service in TypeScript with request validation at the boundary, centralised error handling and structured logging. Authentication uses short-lived JWTs with refresh rotation; authorisation is enforced per route by role.
Aggregation pipelines precompute dashboard figures, keeping response times low as data grows. Integration tests run against an in-memory database in CI.

08Final solution
The concept outlines a maintainable foundation for internal tooling that can grow feature by feature. The IT Solution demo shows the public-facing side of an IT services business.
