Problem

SaaS teams often lack immediate visibility into critical product and revenue events, delaying response and decision-making.

Context

The product focuses on lightweight event ingestion and instant Discord alerts, with usage limits and plan upgrades built in.

Strategy

Build an API-first analytics notifier with category-based event modeling, strict validation, and a frictionless dashboard experience.

Architecture

Next.js App Router frontend + Hono API layer on /api + Prisma ORM with Neon Postgres + Clerk auth + Stripe payments + Discord REST integration.

Execution

Implemented auth sync, category management, event ingestion endpoint, delivery status tracking, monthly quota enforcement, Stripe checkout/webhooks, and dashboard analytics views.

Challenges

Ensuring secure API key ingestion, reliable Discord delivery, per-plan quota enforcement, and consistent server/client data serialization.

Solution

PingPanda provides a simple SaaS monitoring workflow: ingest typed events via API, map them to categories, and receive instant Discord notifications with contextual fields.

Measurable impact

Reduced monitoring blind spots by enabling near real-time operational visibility and faster reaction to sales, sign-ups, and incident events.
