feat(devops): add out-of-the-box Prometheus metrics and Grafana observability stack

[akoweicollinxx]

Description
This PR adds a self-contained observability setup for local development and self-hosted deployments.

What changed
Added django-prometheus to the API so it exposes Prometheus-compatible metrics.
Integrated Prometheus middleware to collect request and database timing data.
Added Prometheus and Grafana services to docker-compose-local.yml.
Included Grafana provisioning so datasources and dashboards are configured automatically.
Added a prebuilt dashboard to visualize API request counts and latency.

Validation
Built the local stack with Docker Compose.
Verified the /metrics endpoint is available.
Confirmed Prometheus is scraping targets successfully.
Opened Grafana and validated the dashboard renders live data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved pagination handling for requests using either a page number or cursor value.
  • Added clearer validation messages for invalid pagination inputs.
  • Updated pagination responses so the next cursor is omitted when there are no more results.
  • Added test coverage for page-based navigation, end-of-list behavior, and stepping through successive pages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Modifies BasePaginator.paginate to explicitly parse a page query parameter (validated as integer >= 1) or cursor parameter, raising ParseError on invalid input, and changes next_cursor to return None when no further results exist. Adds unit tests covering this behavior.

Changes

Pagination page parameter support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Paginator cursor/page parsing and next_cursor logic apps/api/plane/utils/paginator.py	paginate now explicitly parses cursor or page query parameters, validates page as an integer >= 1, raises ParseError with specific messages for invalid cursor/page, defaults to an initial cursor when neither is present, and returns next_cursor as None when cursor_result.next.has_results is false.
Unit tests for page-based pagination apps/api/plane/tests/unit/utils/test_paginator.py	New test module with OffsetEchoPaginator and TwoPagePaginator stubs verifies explicit page-to-offset mapping, last-page behavior (next_page_results=False, next_cursor=None), and iteration termination via next_cursor.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Not applicable; changes involve internal pagination logic with fewer than 3 distinct interacting components.

Poem
A rabbit hopped through pages new,
Cursor or page, it always knew,
When results ran dry and next was none,
It stopped the hop, the search was done,
Tests confirm the trail is true. 🐇

Pull request overview

This PR, as reflected by the included diff, updates the API pagination utility to support a page query parameter (in addition to cursor-based pagination) and adjusts cursor metadata serialization, with accompanying unit tests. However, this does not match the PR title/description about adding Prometheus/Grafana observability (see stored comment).

Changes:

• Added page query param support in BasePaginator.paginate() with validation and conversion into an internal cursor.
• Changed next_cursor serialization to return null/None when there are no further results.
• Added unit tests covering page behavior and termination when following next_cursor.

Add coverage for the new error paths.

The new paginate logic raises ParseError for non-integer page, page < 1, and invalid cursor strings, but none of these are tested here. Consider adding cases asserting ParseError (e.g., pytest.raises) for page="abc", page="0", and a malformed cursor value.

737-738: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

prev_cursor is not nulled symmetrically with next_cursor.

This change nulls next_cursor when cursor_result.next.has_results is false, but prev_cursor (line 738) is always returned as a string even when prev_page_results is false (e.g., on the first page). This is an inconsistent API contract for consumers that now rely on None to detect the end of pagination — the same pattern should arguably apply to prev_cursor at the start.

♻️ Suggested symmetry fix

-                "prev_cursor": str(cursor_result.prev),
+                "prev_cursor": str(cursor_result.prev) if cursor_result.prev.has_results else None,

assembles `next_cursor` and `prev_cursor`.

677-696: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Cursor takes silent precedence over page param.

When both cursor and page query params are supplied, page is silently ignored with no validation or feedback. Consider documenting this precedence in a comment, or raising a ParseError if both are supplied to avoid ambiguous client expectations.
