Adds Prometheus and Grafana for metrics and dashboard for our application

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:
Security Compliance
🔴
Default weak credentials
Description: Grafana admin credentials are hardcoded to weak defaults ('GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin' and 'GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin'), enabling trivial takeover of the monitoring dashboard if the stack is exposed. docker-compose.yml [61-63]
Description: Prometheus metrics are exposed without authentication or IP restrictions, which can leak sensitive operational data (e.g., paths, status codes, latencies) and be abused for reconnaissance if the endpoint is reachable externally. main.py [39-41]
Objective: To ensure logs are useful for debugging and auditing without exposing sensitive information like PII, PHI, or cardholder data.
Status: Plaintext secrets: Grafana admin credentials are hardcoded in environment variables within compose, risking exposure in logs and configuration leaks.
Objective: To create a detailed and reliable record of critical system actions for security analysis and compliance.
Status: Missing context: The new code does not add or modify audit logging for critical actions, and it’s unclear whether uploads or permission changes are being logged with user and outcome context elsewhere.
Generic: Robust Error Handling and Edge Case Management
Objective: Ensure comprehensive error handling that provides meaningful context and graceful degradation
Status: Missing guards: Metrics initialization and exposure are added without visible error handling for instrumentation failures or missing dependencies, which could impact app startup.
Generic: Security-First Input Validation and Data Handling
Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent vulnerabilities
Status: Open endpoints: Prometheus and Grafana services are exposed on default ports without visible authentication or network restrictions, which may require validation of deployment security posture.
✅ Avoid hardcoding Grafana admin credentialsSuggestion Impact:The commit replaced hardcoded GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER and GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD values with environment variables, aligning with the suggestion (though without default fallbacks). It also changed the default theme to dark.
Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a significant security vulnerability by pointing out hardcoded Grafana admin credentials and proposes a best-practice solution using environment variables.

Complete or remove partial OpenTelemetry implementation
The PR adds OpenTelemetry dependencies without implementing the feature. It is suggested to either complete the implementation or remove the unused dependencies to avoid unnecessary project bloat.
# pyproject.tomldependencies = [
...,"prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator>=7.1.0",
"opentelemetry-sdk>=1.38.0",
"opentelemetry-exporter-otlp>=1.38.0",
"opentelemetry-instrumentation-fastapi>=0.59b0",
]
# src/main.py...app = FastAPI(...)# Prometheus metrics are configuredinstrumentator = Instrumentator().instrument(app)instrumentator.expose(app, ...)# No OpenTelemetry implementation exists in the codebase.
After:
# pyproject.tomldependencies = [
...,"prometheus-fastapi-instrumentator>=7.1.0",
# "opentelemetry-sdk>=1.38.0", (removed)# "opentelemetry-exporter-otlp>=1.38.0", (removed)# "opentelemetry-instrumentation-fastapi>=0.59b0", (removed)
]
# src/main.py...app = FastAPI(...)# Prometheus metrics are configuredinstrumentator = Instrumentator().instrument(app)instrumentator.expose(app, ...)# No OpenTelemetry implementation exists in the codebase.
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7
__
Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that OpenTelemetry dependencies were added without any implementation, which is a significant code quality issue that increases the project's dependency footprint for no benefit.
