**nginx served the bundle uncompressed and uncacheable.** The base image
ships gzip commented out and nothing set `Cache-Control`, so every load
carried the whole thing and every reload cost a 304 per asset. Measured on
the built image: the entry chunk 838 kB → 311 kB, the Monaco chunk 2.66 MB
→ 832 kB, and the ~50 content-hashed assets are now immutable for a year.
`index.html` is explicitly `no-cache`, since it is what names the rest.
**A widget that throws no longer blanks the screen.** There was one error
boundary in the app, on the root route, so anything that threw replaced
everything including the navigation — on `/view/{name}`, an unattended wall
panel with no way back. Each tile has its own boundary now, and the app
shell has one inside it so a screen that fails leaves the sidebar standing.
`react-error-boundary` was already a dependency and imported nowhere.
**`localStorage` cannot take the app down.** Reaching it raises where the
browser blocks site data, and `setItem` raises once the origin's quota is
full — which the flow editor's node clipboard, carrying whole Python
sources, can genuinely reach. Thrown from a key handler that escaped to
`window.onerror`, which the single root boundary then turned into a blank
page. `lib/safeStorage.ts` is the guarded pair the pre-paint theme script in
`index.html` was already using; a copy too large to store now says so.
Queries default to `staleTime: 5000` — below every poll interval on any
screen, so nothing polls less often than it did, but a route mounting twice
in a few seconds stops refetching everything it touches. Window-focus
refetching is off: the socket pushes what changes and a reconnect
invalidates what it feeds, so a focus event has nothing of its own to say.
Home alone reads about ten queries on every one of those.
Render cost, two that showed up in the audit:
- `LogsPanel` was rendered unconditionally by the dock and decided inside
itself whether to draw, so with the panel *shut* it still subscribed to
the log store and re-filtered five hundred lines per line a flow
published. It returns before any of that now.
- `HealthActivity` subscribed to the whole engine-event array and used one
number from it, so a flapping node re-rendered the component that draws
Home's two uPlot charts — each of which rebuilds its series on every
render by design. It subscribes to that number.
- the global search bucketed the index nine times per keystroke, once per
group. One pass, and each group offers at most twenty.

Fluksio App
Fluksio is a node-based automation software that brings trust and reliability to your flow. It just works and looks good.
The core of Fluksio: a node-based, test-driven automation software built to scale. This
repo holds the FastAPI backend, the flow engine, and the dashboard SPA. It is served on
app.${DOMAIN} (SPA) and api.${DOMAIN} (API)
Layout
backend/ FastAPI + SQLModel + Alembic + SQLite
fluksio/flow/ the flow engine (nodes, pipeline, state backends, controller)
fluksio/cli.py `fluksio serve` / `enroll` / `worker`
worker/ the `fluksio-worker` distribution: the agent and the node runner
frontend/ React 19 + TanStack Router + Tailwind 4 + shadcn/ui
docs/ the public documentation site (zensical), served on docs.${DOMAIN}
docker/ compose.yml → compose.dev.yml → compose.local.yml (+ compose.traefik.yml)
scripts/ generate-client.sh, test.sh
Install without Docker
Get started quickly by running
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve
Then, head over to fluksio.com, sign up and add a new installation. Using the code provided, run
fluksio enroll <code>
and you're ready to rock.
Fluksio is distributed at it's heart. A machine that should only run nodes for an engine elsewhere installs less:
pip install fluksio-worker
fluksio-worker --url wss://api.example.com/api/v1/workers/attach --token "$TOKEN" --labels gpu
Getting started
Normally driven from the workspace root (make init once, then make dev). Standalone:
make install # uv sync + bun install
make dev-utils # proxy and mailcatcher only
make dev-backend # FastAPI on :8000, hot reload
make dev-frontend # Vite on :5173
make test # pytest + Playwright (the e2e half needs the stack up)
make lint # ruff + mypy + biome
make generate-client # regenerate the frontend SDK from the OpenAPI schema
make help lists every target.
Documentation
The public site lives in docs/ and is built with zensical:
make docs-serve # live preview on :8000
make docs # static build into ./site
It is served at docs.${DOMAIN} by the docs service in docker/compose.yml,
and .gitea/workflows/docs.yml builds it with --strict on every push.
