Product Analytics Template

This template is a great starting point for building a product analytics solution for your web application. It provides a simple example of how to capture page view events from a web app, process them in real-time, and display the processed data on a dashboard, all using Moose.

Dev Workflow

The following documentation will guide you through the steps to get started with the Product Analytics template. The workflow is divided into four main sections:

1. Set Up Moose: Clone the code and start a local server to ingest page view events.
2. Instrument Your Web App: Send live page view events to Moose.
3. Event Processing: Use Streaming Functions to process raw events.
4. Visualization: Display processed data on a NextJS dashboard.

System Overview

• Event Capture: Your web app sends events to Moose via HTTP POST requests.
• Ingestion: Moose provisions a web server with /ingest endpoints to receive and route incoming POST requests.
• Buffering: Moose buffers events into a designated Redpanda streaming topic.
• Processing: Moose runs a background process to transform raw event data into a processed event.
• Storage: Moose stores the transformed data in a Clickhouse table.
• Consumption: Moose provides the processed data via an API endpoint on the existing web server.
• Visualization: The NextJS dashboard frontend web app consumes data from Moose (via the configured APIs) and displays it on a dashboard.
