To monitor the Twitter SMS service from chapter 7, we now need an administrative dashboard that will allow us to visualize a few key performance indicators of the service.
To increase our developer happiness, we’ll employ Scala.js (http://scala-js.org), which will allow us to work in a type-safe fashion. Scala.js allows us to write Scala code that compiles down to JavaScript and to leverage existing JavaScript libraries. We’ll also use the AngularJS framework (http://angularjs.org). Figure 8.1 shows how all these parts fit together.
