PowerShell Universal Dashboard from start to finish

on YouTube ↗01h 33m

" summary

Walks through building a real app with the PowerShell Universal Dashboard module: layouts, Chart.js and Nivo visualizations, React front end, endpoints that expose REST APIs, websockets chat backed by Postgres, scheduled collectors and cache/session variables, OAuth and forms auth, and hosting on Windows, Linux, Docker, Azure or a Raspberry Pi. Demos show Strava data ingestion and custom JS components; demos occasionally hit rate‑limits or break but core features run and scale (example test: 8,000 requests in six seconds).
