You could try Akita Software: https://www.akitasoftware.com/ who exists in this space, but anecdotally devs I've spoken to who have tested that solution haven't loved it (find it hard/unintuitive to use). I assume a full investment (Data warehouse + datadog and alerting framework) would be overkill for your use case?

This problem is something I've spent some time thinking through/working on addressing, because it does feel like there should be something easy & low cost for devs to use, a mixpanel for API usage as it were. If you'd want to talk about it offline, drop me a message. Best of luck!

Thanks for sharing Akita. It looks promising. It seems to be an early stage product. I would keep an eye on it.

Like you said, there should be something like a mixpanel for API usage. Now when I think of it, it is not as an urgent problem as user data analysis. I need to collect user data after I have qualitatively validate my product and started doing marketing campaign. But I would not need to analyse my api usage after I hit a certain level of usage.

API monitor seems to be a less urgent and easier task with less market size.

I want to pay for it, if there is any simple service that I can integrate in 2 hours out there.

Speaking of a full investment (Data warehouse + datadog and alerting framework), I actually don't know what it is, lol. I'm an dumb developer, I just want to pay, read docs, write some integration code in 2 hours, test and then use the service. I have visited datadogs webiste before I post. The amount of info there is beyond my comprehension (or beyond the attention budget that I am willing to spend).

Anyway, thanks for you info :)
