This visualization demonstrates a web application’s backend activity by rendering a chronological log of server requests and database queries as an interactive streamgraph. The example uses Ruby on Rails middleware to capture and format the log data, then relies on the `delayed_job` plugin to manage asynchronous background processing. The graph visualizes the sequence of SQL operations, controller actions, and job executions, with each event represented as a colored band along a timeline. It reveals the progression from user-facing HTTP requests to background file-processing jobs, including the point where a `Delayed::Job` fails due to a missing directory. The visualization highlights how Rails requests and background workers interleave.
