Remove heartbeat SMS/Email from GC Notify service and Activity dashboard

yaelberger-commits commented 5 months ago

Description

As the GC Notify team, we need to be able to separate out data from our heartbeat SMS/Email messages used to update our System Status page from legitimate messages from our clients so that we can ensure our metrics on the Activity Dashboard are accurate and representative of real client messages and not skewed by our system status checks.

WHY are we building? Currently our metrics on the Activity Dashboard and service reporting are skewed for SMS/Email by our heartbeat checks WHAT are we building? A new service for heartbeat that doesn't get tracked in our Activity dashboard VALUE created by our solution More accurate metrics and reporting data

Documentation and Artifacts
