Welcome to ReportPlane
Understand what ReportPlane does, the problem it solves, and the path your data follows.
ReportPlane helps a product receive data, store it safely, and expose controlled analytics without building a separate reporting backend for every customer or feature.
The simplest way to think about ReportPlane is as a control plane for analytics. You describe the data you expect and the questions you want to answer. ReportPlane turns those definitions into governed ingest and query interfaces.
The problem it solves
A typical analytics feature needs several systems to agree:
- an application must send data in a known shape;
- a warehouse must store it correctly;
- queries must work across that stored data;
- credentials must limit who can send or read data;
- API documentation must match the real runtime behavior;
- usage and plan limits must be enforced.
Without a shared control plane, these concerns often become separate services and hand-written contracts. They drift over time. ReportPlane keeps them connected through the same definitions.
The basic journey
Describe the data
Create a data model. It names every accepted field and its type, such as string, integer, or timestamp.
Choose where data is stored
Connect a supported customer warehouse or use a ReportPlane-managed warehouse when it is available for your plan.
Create a sending identity
An ingest client decides which models a sender may write to and which authentication or network controls apply.
Send data
Use HTTP, WebSocket, or Syslog. ReportPlane validates accepted data before it enters the delivery pipeline.
Define analytics
Create an Analytics API using dimensions, metrics, filters, ordering, and visualization metadata.
Create a reading identity
A query client controls which published analytics a consumer may execute.
Who uses ReportPlane
ReportPlane is useful when you are building customer-facing analytics, embedded reports, operational dashboards, usage views, or a controlled analytics API over product data.
You do not need to be a data engineer to start. The console explains the workflow visually. The documentation gives the exact behavior when you need to integrate or troubleshoot.
What ReportPlane is not
ReportPlane is not a second SQL engine. SQL shown in the console is a representation of an analytics definition, not a separate execution system. Saved definitions run through ReportPlane's analytics runtime, which adapts the plan to the selected warehouse.
ReportPlane also does not silently guess security policy. Write and read access come from explicit clients, keys, certificates, tokens, and network restrictions.
