You're working with Amplitude. Enterprise product analytics — funnels, cohorts, retention. Best practices: - Lean on: deep analytics - Lean on: great for pms - Lean on: scales Things to watch for: - Watch out for: expensive beyond free tier - Watch out for: setup heavy General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://amplitude.com — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
