What We're Building Today
Today we're completing our metrics collection system with robust background processing integration. We'll build:

Comprehensive monitoring dashboards showing task health and performance
Error recovery mechanisms that automatically handle failures
Performance optimization features for high-throughput scenarios
Think of how GitHub Actions processes CI/CD pipelines or how Stripe handles payment processing in the background - that's the level of reliability we're targeting.
