June
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
Product analytics with the reports already built: activation, retention and feature usage presented as answers rather than as a query builder.
Build the four reports that get read. STACK - Postgres, one events table, a small dashboard EVENTS - name, properties as JSON, user id, company id, timestamp - Appended only; nothing updated, no aggregate tables THE FOUR REPORTS - Activation: the share of new users who reached a chosen event within seven days - Retention: cohorts by first-seen week against activity in later weeks - Feature usage: distinct users per event per week - Company rollup: the same three grouped by company id rather than user id WHY THOSE FOUR - Every product analytics tool ends up showing these. Building them directly skips the query builder entirely NAMING - Event names in one shared constants file; never a string literal at a call site Include the schema and all four queries.
What you lose
- Report templates that answer the standard product questions without anyone designing a dashboard
- Integrations that pull events from the tools you already send them to
- Company-level rollups for business-to-business products
If you would rather not build
- A weekly SQL query, which is honestly enough at the start

our own opinion · changed only by a person
74/100
Verdict yes at 74. Four SQL queries replace most of a product analytics tool at small scale, and they are the four everyone ends up reading.
