Goal
Use the Services view as a platform operations inventory, not just a list page.Prerequisites
- Live stacks or databases
Workflow
What appears in the service hub
- Template-backed stacks and direct stacks
- Standalone managed databases
- Operational cues like backup posture, update availability, node assignment, and recovery state
Reading the cues
- Health and status tell you whether a service is actually serving.
- Update availability reflects template upgrade status (update_available, upgrade_blocked).
- Backup posture flags services without a usable recent backup.
- Node assignment shows where the service landed, which matters when one node is unhealthy.
- Recovery state surfaces an in-flight or failed operation so you catch it from the hub, not after the fact.
Expected result
You can reason about the live service ecosystem from one surface.

Operations overview
The operations area is the cross-resource health and runtime visibility surface for StackShift.
Recovery states, logs, and troubleshooting
Read the operation state on a resource — its status, current step, attempt count, retryable flag, and last error — together with logs, instead of treating a single “error” badge as the whole story.
Stack logs, health, and placement
Use the stack detail, logs, and placement information to understand how the stack is actually running.
