StellaOps Source & Job Orchestrator

The Orchestrator schedules, observes, and recovers ingestion and analysis jobs across the StellaOps platform.

Latest updates (2025-11-18)

  • Job leasing now flows through the Task Runner bridge: allocations carry idempotency keys, lease durations, and retry hints; workers acknowledge via claim/ack and emit heartbeats.
  • Event envelopes remain interim pending ORCH-SVC-37-101; include provenance (tenant/project, job type, correlationId, task runner id) in all notifier events.
  • Authority orch:quota / orch:backfill scopes require reason/ticket audit fields; include them in runbooks and dashboard overrides.

Responsibilities

  • Track job state, throughput, and errors for Concelier, Excititor, Scheduler, and export pipelines.
  • Expose dashboards and APIs for throttling, replays, and failover.
  • Enforce rate-limits, concurrency and dependency chains across queues.
  • Stream structured events and audit logs for incident response.
  • Provide Task Runner bridge semantics (claim/ack, heartbeats, progress, artifacts, backfills) for Go/Python SDKs.

Key components

  • Orchestrator WebService (control plane).
  • Queue adapters (Redis/NATS) and job ledger.
  • Console dashboard module and CLI integration for operators.

Integrations & dependencies

  • Authority for authN/Z on operational actions.
  • Telemetry stack for job metrics and alerts.
  • Scheduler/Concelier/Excititor workers for job lifecycle.
  • Offline Kit for state export/import during air-gap refreshes.

Operational notes

  • Job recovery runbooks and dashboard JSON as described in Epic 9.
  • Rate-limit and lease reconfiguration guidelines; keep lease defaults aligned across runners and SDKs (Go/Python).
  • Log streaming: SSE/WS endpoints carry correlationId + tenant/project; buffer size and retention must be documented in runbooks.
  • When using orch:quota / orch:backfill scopes, capture reason/ticket fields in runbooks and audit checklists.

Epic alignment

  • Epic 9: Source & Job Orchestrator Dashboard.
  • ORCH stories in ../../TASKS.md.
