Ask HN: What are the minimum metrics to monitor when launching a SaaS product?
I am launching a new SaaS application with 2 associates and was wondering what were the minimal metrics to monitor when launching?
I looked to products like baremetrics but it seems a bit overkill for us.
Are there any self-hosted solutions that could help us get started? Or just rely on some SQL queries?
- Akcium 6y agoI have the same question. I've already launched my product and I haven't monitored anything so far. Except, looking for traffic. Well, basically all I do is watching users number, subscriptions and traffic. Users/subscriptions - in database, traffic - in https://usefathom.com/ https://usefathom.com/ But I'm a small SaaS. I'm not sure, I know that there are tons of metrics, funnels etc, but if the number of users/traffic small, should we that much care about indexes?

- dyeje 6y agoIt depends, what metrics are you worried about?
- cellover 6y agoMaybe I should have been more precise, you are right. I was thinking of the key indicators that your project is financally viable, so maybe more related to finance / revenue.
