feat: hackathon metalyics - tracking team usage metrics for all your tools used wihin posthog

benjackwhite commented 5 days ago

Problem

Metalytics is a new feature that tracks how teams use dashboards and other PostHog tools. The goal is to give users visibility into things like session views, page loads, and how their team interacts with dashboards and tools.

Changes

This is a full-stack update:

API: Writes usage data into the app_metrics2 table, which we’ve repurposed for Metalytics.
Query Layer: Uses HogQL to fetch metrics based on the specific PostHog products the user wants to track.

Everything is behind a feature flag, so we can keep iterating in prod without affecting anything live.

👉 Stay up-to-date with PostHog coding conventions for a smoother review.

Does this work well for both Cloud and self-hosted?

Cloud: Yes Self-hosted: TBD
