Finding your way around
How the sidebar is organised, what lives where, and the keyboard shortcuts worth learning.
AccelerUp has around 130 screens. They are grouped into ten sections, ordered by the shape of the work rather than by when they were built.
The sections
| Section | The question it answers |
|---|---|
| Monitor | Is it up, how fast, and where? |
| Logs & Errors | What did it say, and what was unusual about it? |
| Incidents & On-Call | Who needs to know, and who is handling it? |
| Delivery | What shipped, and did it help? |
| Feature Flags | Who is seeing the new thing? |
| Analytics | What do the numbers say over time? |
| Data Warehouse | What does the business data say — and alert me on it. |
| FinOps | What does this cost? |
| Security | What is exposed, and are we compliant? |
| Settings | Configure it once and stop thinking about it. |
Two links sit outside the sections because they are entry points rather than areas: Dashboard (the home overview) and Copilot.
This documentation mirrors it
The sidebar here is deliberately the same shape. If you are looking at a screen and have a question about it, the matching documentation page is in the section with the same name.
Two sections exist here with no counterpart in the app:
- Reference — the exact numbers, names and limits. Generated from the code where possible.
- Running AccelerUp — operating the platform itself.
Keyboard
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
⌘K / Ctrl+K | Command palette — jump to any page by name |
/ | Focus search |
Esc | Close the palette or a modal |
The command palette indexes every navigation item, including the nested ones inside Fleet and Deployments, so you never have to remember which section a screen lives in.
Things that are where you would not guess
A few placements are deliberate but non-obvious:
| Looking for | It is under |
|---|---|
| Silencing an alert for a maintenance window | Settings → Platform → Maintenance |
| Which servers have no monitoring | Delivery → Fleet → Coverage |
| Why a Slack message never arrived | Incidents & On-Call → Notifications |
| What changed just before the incident | Settings → Platform → Change Feed (visible to everyone, not just admins) |
| Per-endpoint Cloudflare error alerting | Monitor → Cloudflare → Endpoint Guard |
| Deploy freezes and approvals | Settings, not Deployments — they are configured once |
Role-gated items
Some sidebar entries only appear for admin and owner. If a colleague
describes a screen you cannot find, check your role before assuming it moved —
see Roles and permissions.
Environments are not a filter
There is no global environment switcher, and that is on purpose. Environment is a property of the object, resolved by the environment model, not a mode the whole UI is in. Pages that need it filter on it themselves. See Environments.
Where this behaviour lives: frontend/src/components/layout/Sidebar.tsx. If the code and this page disagree, the code is right — please fix the page.
