Dashboards

Build a dashboard by dragging tiles, not writing SQL

Pick a metric, choose a chart and drop it on the grid. Tiles snap to four sizes so every dashboard stays tidy, even when ten people edit it.

  • 40+ chart types
  • Drag-and-drop grid
  • Live collaboration
Funnels & retention

Find the step where users quietly leave

Define a funnel in seconds and compare it across segments, releases or time ranges. Retention curves show whether a change actually stuck.

  • Unlimited steps
  • Segment comparison
  • Cohort retention
Alerts

Hear about a drop before your customers do

Set a threshold or let Tessera learn the normal range. When a metric moves, the right channel gets a message with the chart attached.

  • Slack, email and webhooks
  • Anomaly detection
  • Quiet hours
FR-02Three icon columns
Why teams switch

Built for the questions you ask every week

Three foundations that make Tessera the dashboard people actually open.

01 / Model

One event model for every team

Define an event once and product, growth and finance read the same number. No more three versions of “active user”.

Explore the event model
02 / Speed

Sub-second queries at any scale

Columnar storage and pre-aggregated rollups keep every tile under a second, even across two years of raw events.

See the benchmarks
03 / Signal

Alerts that explain themselves

When a metric moves, Tessera tells you which segment drove it, so the first message in Slack already has the answer.

Four views, one source of truth

Drag tiles, not SQL

Compose a board from 30+ tile types. Every tile shares one filter bar, so a date change updates the whole view.

  • Shared filters across tiles
  • Public and private share links
  • Version history on every edit
FR-04Accordion with sticky visual
Planning

From what happened to what happens next

  • Describe a group once, like “trial teams with 3+ seats who used funnels this week”, and Tessera keeps the list current as new events arrive.
