Operational

Open-source event tracker for tech products

About Operational

Operational gives SaaS founders a live timeline of the events that matter inside their product, such as signups, payments, cancellations, webhooks, cron jobs, and errors. Events arrive through a simple SDK, trigger push notifications, and can run actions back inside the product, with related events chained into contexts. It complements product analytics tools by focusing on operational awareness rather than aggregate metrics.
