Designing Analytics for a Security-Focused Django API Day 15

Today I focused on the analytics and internal observability of my phishing detection platform.

Key takeaways from this stage:

  • Analytics should live separately from core business logic
  • URL routing clarity prevents long-term technical debt
  • API-key–scoped statistics are critical for SaaS-style products
  • Import errors are often symptoms of deeper architectural problems

Implemented:

  • Usage stats by plan
  • Risk score aggregation
  • Verdict distribution
  • Admin vs user-level analytics separation

This wasn’t about shipping fast —
it was about making sure the system can be trusted, monitored, and extended.

Next: testing and public-facing API improvements.
