Architecture

The Stavily Web UI is built on a modern, scalable architecture that leverages SvelteKit’s full-stack capabilities to deliver high-performance user experiences across all devices and network conditions.

SvelteKit Framework

Full-stack framework providing SSR/CSR hybrid rendering, file-based routing, and built-in performance optimizations.

TypeScript

Type-safe development ensuring better reliability and developer experience.

TailwindCSS

Utility-first CSS framework for consistent, responsive styling.

Socket.io

Real-time bidirectional communication for live updates and monitoring.

The UI follows a hierarchical component structure for maintainability and reusability:

  • Layout Components: App shell, navigation, headers
  • Page Components: Route-specific components with data loading
  • Feature Components: Business logic components (workflows, agents)
  • UI Components: Reusable design system elements
  • Utility Components: Small, focused helper components

The Web UI communicates with backend services through multiple protocols:

  • REST APIs: Standard HTTP endpoints for CRUD operations
  • WebSocket: Real-time bidirectional communication
  • GraphQL: Efficient data fetching with reduced over-fetching

    participant U as User
    participant W as Web UI
    participant O as Orchestrator
    participant DB as Database

    U->>W: User Action
    W->>O: API Request
    O->>DB: Data Operation
    DB->>O: Response
    O->>W: API Response
    W->>U: UI Update

The UI implements a consistent design system with:

  • TailwindCSS: Utility-first styling approach
  • Dark Mode: Built-in light/dark theme support
  • Responsive Design: Mobile-first responsive layouts
  • Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliant components

Settings Themes Interface

  • Code Splitting: Automatic bundle splitting for optimal loading
  • Lazy Loading: On-demand component loading for better performance
  • Image Optimization: Automatic responsive image handling
  • Caching: Browser and API-level caching strategies
  • < 2 seconds initial page load time
  • < 500ms navigation between pages
  • 95+ Lighthouse performance score
  • Content Security Policy: Strict CSP headers
  • Authentication: OAuth2/OIDC integration
  • Authorization: Role-based access control
  • Data Protection: Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Automated CI/CD: GitHub Actions for testing and deployment
  • Containerized: Docker-based deployment
  • Monitoring: Real-time performance and error tracking
  • Scalability: Horizontal scaling support

This architecture provides a solid, maintainable foundation that supports the Web UI’s role as the primary interface for the Stavily DevOps automation platform.
