Phase 3 Plan 02: Analytics Instrumentation Summary

Three fire-and-forget recordProcessingEvent() calls added to processJob() at upload_started, completed, and failed lifecycle points

Performance

• Duration: 2 min
• Started: 2026-02-24T20:42:54Z
• Completed: 2026-02-24T20:44:36Z
• Tasks: 1
• Files modified: 1

Accomplishments

• Added import for recordProcessingEvent from analyticsService at top of jobProcessorService.ts
• Emits upload_started event (fire-and-forget) after markAsProcessing at job start
• Emits completed event with duration_ms (fire-and-forget) after markAsCompleted on success
• Emits failed event with duration_ms and error_message (fire-and-forget) in catch block with null-guard
• Zero regressions — all 64 existing tests pass, TypeScript compiles cleanly

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Add analytics instrumentation to processJob lifecycle - dabd4a5 (feat)

Plan metadata: (docs commit follows)

Files Created/Modified

• backend/src/services/jobProcessorService.ts - Added import and 3 recordProcessingEvent() instrumentation calls at job start, completion, and failure

Decisions Made

• Confirmed event_type: 'upload_started' (not 'processing_started') matches the locked analytics schema decision
• No await on any recordProcessingEvent() call — void return type enforces fire-and-forget at the type system level
• Null-guard if (job) in catch block is necessary because job remains null if ProcessingJobModel.findById() throws before assignment

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Analytics pipeline is now end-to-end: document_processing_events table receives real data when jobs run
• GET /admin/analytics endpoint (03-01) will report actual processing metrics instead of zeros
• No blockers for remaining Phase 03 plans
