TravelPanel WebSocket Server

Real-time communication for the organization

TravelPanel WebSocket Server is the communication layer behind connected organizational applications at Moon Holidays. Built with uWebSockets.js, it supports real-time messaging, notifications, and presence tracking, helping applications exchange updates while people work. Its purpose is to keep teams connected to current information across the TravelPanel ecosystem.

I led the engineering work on this service, bringing together the communication server, operational visibility, and the developer experience needed to maintain it. The result is a dedicated piece of business infrastructure with a clear purpose: support responsive applications and make the service understandable to the people responsible for running it.

A service built to be operated

The dashboard brings service status, connection activity, and documentation into one place. Operators can see whether the server is running, review connected-user activity, and access the information they need to understand the service.

The interface also brings together health monitoring and developer documentation. That combination matters for an organizational service: delivering messages is one part of the job; helping engineers integrate, maintain, and troubleshoot the communication layer is another.

Clear access and developer experience

A dedicated sign-in screen provides Google sign-in for authorized users. Behind it, the service dashboard offers access to interactive API documentation and a structured reference, giving developers a practical starting point for integration work.

The screenshots show the actual product: the service dashboard and its sign-in experience. Dashboard values reflect the supplied capture rather than a live status feed.
