Show HN: Add Analytics to Anything

The pricing page could use an example. I immediately had to use a calculator to get a sense of the pricing, missing a zero on the calculator is easy. Maybe "if you do 10.000 writes per day, so 300.000 a month, it's $45". Or a slider tool like https://sendgrid.com/pricing/

I think a minimum price could make sense. Chasing payments, e.g. expired credit cards, on accounts making $2/month won't be profitable.

Ages ago https://keen.io/ started like this. You can still see the 'stream', 'store', 'query', 'present' steps in their offer.

The slider is a great idea, will add that.

We didn't want to add a minimum price or make a lot of packages because we wanted it to be simple, and the users only pay for what they use. I wanted them to free their minds from choosing the (right) package, or keep upgrading while they scale. Will see how it goes.

Why use Keen or any other tool like this vs a structured log monitoring tool? Can't you do all of this via Kibana?

Hello, My name is Marwan, and I am a co-founder of Datawaves. We try to make it easy to add analytics to your projects. There are some players in this field right now, but we believe we can offer better performance and price.

Happy to answer your questions.

I signed up, created a project but not sure where to go from there.

The main product is the API, you send events data (clicks, orders, signups, etc...) to use, then retrieve it in a form that is ready to be displayed on a chart. Maybe we should work more on onboarding.
