Problem
SaaS teams often lack immediate visibility into critical product and revenue events, delaying response and decision-making.
Situation
The product focuses on lightweight event ingestion and instant email alerts, with usage limits and plan upgrades built in.
Approach
- Category-based event modeling — Typed events mapped to user-defined categories with strict validation.
- API-first design — Lightweight ingestion endpoint for product and revenue signals.
- Frictionless dashboard — Simple setup for API keys, categories, and Resend API.
What Made This Hard
- Secure API key ingestion — Keys validated per category without exposing secrets client-side
- Reliable Discord delivery — Failed webhook deliveries tracked and surfaced in the dashboard
- Per-plan quota enforcement — Monthly event limits applied consistently across ingestion paths
- Consistent server/client data serialization — Shared types between Hono API and Next.js dashboard
Architecture
Web application — Next.js App Router frontend + Hono API layer on /api + Prisma ORM with Neon Postgres + Clerk auth + Stripe payments + Resend API.
Execution
Core features
- Category management for event routing
- Event ingestion endpoint with typed payloads
- Delivery status tracking per notification
- Monthly quota enforcement by plan tier
- Stripe checkout and webhook handling for upgrades
- Dashboard analytics views
What We Built
Clearbeam provides a simple SaaS monitoring workflow: ingest typed events via API, map them to categories, and receive instant email notifications with contextual fields.
Results
- Near real-time operational visibility — Reduced monitoring blind spots for sales, sign-ups, and incident events
- Faster reaction time — Teams respond to critical events as they happen instead of discovering them in batch reports
