Analytics quickstart (15 minutes)

  1. Create/select a project and copy its write key.
  2. Send your first event to /api/ingest with Authorization: Bearer <WRITE_KEY>.
  3. Add baseline events: session_started, screen_view, onboarding_step_view, premium_purchase.
  4. Open Admin → Overview and confirm Total events + Unique users are non-zero.
  5. Open Events to verify properties and naming consistency.
Common mistake: event names drift over time (for example signup_complete and signupCompleted). Pick one canonical format (snake_case recommended) and enforce it in code review.

Next step

Continue with Instrumentation model to define required fields and reduce reporting noise.
