The Multi-Tenant Analytics Challenge

The observability market has reached $28.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $172.1 billion by 2035, yet platform teams still struggle with fundamental analytics challenges. Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms highlights that enterprise buyers increasingly demand outcomes tied to business metrics, not just technical monitoring.

For multi-tenant SaaS platforms, these challenges compound:

Data Isolation Complexity: Ensuring each tenant's analytics data remains securely isolated requires sophisticated query logic and row-level security. A single permission error can expose sensitive usage patterns across organizations.

Cost Attribution Crisis: Engineering teams spend months building systems to track and audit individual tenant costs. Without granular usage tracking, platforms struggle to implement fair pricing models or identify cost optimization opportunities.

Performance vs. Completeness: Traditional analytics systems force teams to choose between real-time dashboards with limited data or comprehensive reports with hours of latency. One tenant's heavy analytical queries can degrade performance for all users.

Development Time Burden: Building the semantic layer that translates application permissions to analytics data permissions often requires years of engineering effort. Teams struggle to maintain this mapping as their platform evolves.

Key Industry Statistics:

  • 67% of multi-tenant platforms face data isolation security challenges
  • Engineering teams spend 6-18 months building custom analytics infrastructure
  • Query latency in traditional systems: 5-35x slower than optimized solutions
  • Storage costs: 33x higher without proper time-series optimization

Unified Real-Time and Batch Analytics

Analytics Worker solves the multi-tenant analytics challenge with a unified approach that combines real-time processing, batch aggregation, and automated reporting in a single service. Unlike fragmented monitoring tools that isolate usage data from cost metrics, Analytics Worker provides comprehensive platform intelligence through TimescaleDB's time-series architecture.

Core Capabilities

Real-Time Analytics Aggregation: Process usage events with <1s latency using Redis Streams for event ingestion and TimescaleDB hypertables for time-partitioned storage. Track API calls, database queries, and service interactions as they happen.

Multi-Tenant Cost Tracking: Attribute compute, storage, and API costs to specific organizations with per-tenant usage metrics. TimescaleDB's continuous aggregates enable instant cost reporting without scanning raw event data.

Threshold-Based Alert System: Define custom thresholds for usage limits, cost budgets, and performance baselines. Automated alerts trigger when organizations approach quota limits or when platform metrics deviate from expected patterns.

Scheduled Reporting Pipeline: Generate automated reports on hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly intervals. Pre-calculated aggregates ensure reports complete in seconds, not minutes, regardless of historical data volume.

Time-Series Optimization: TimescaleDB's compression reduces storage footprint by 90%+ while simultaneously improving query performance. Automatic data retention policies archive historical data without manual intervention.

Technical Architecture

Analytics Worker integrates with all 18 Nexus core services through standardized event streams:

  • Event Collection: Redis Streams buffer high-throughput usage events from GraphRAG, Vector Engine, Document Engine, and specialized services
  • Time-Series Storage: TimescaleDB hypertables partition data by time intervals, enabling efficient queries across billions of events
  • Continuous Aggregates: Pre-calculated rollups for common metrics (hourly/daily totals, percentiles, moving averages)
  • Multi-Database Backend: PostgreSQL for relational metadata, TimescaleDB for time-series analytics, Redis for real-time buffering
  • 15 API Endpoints: RESTful interfaces for querying metrics, configuring alerts, and generating custom reports

How Analytics Worker Transforms Platform Intelligence

Analytics Worker provides a complete analytics lifecycle from event collection to actionable insights:

1. Automatic Event Collection (Continuous)

Every Nexus service publishes usage events to Redis Streams as operations occur. Analytics Worker consumes these streams in real-time, validating event schemas and enriching metadata before storage.

Tracked Metrics:

  • API endpoint calls per organization
  • Database query counts and latencies
  • Storage consumption across services
  • AI model invocations and token usage
  • Authentication and access patterns

2. Time-Series Storage (Sub-Second Processing)

Events flow into TimescaleDB hypertables, which automatically partition data into time-based chunks. This design enables Analytics Worker to maintain <1s processing latency even during peak loads.

Storage Optimization:

  • Automatic compression after 24 hours reduces storage by 90%+
  • Continuous aggregates pre-calculate common metrics (hourly/daily totals)
  • Data retention policies archive historical data to object storage

3. Real-Time Monitoring (Immediate Visibility)

Live dashboards query recent data directly from hypertables, while historical trends leverage continuous aggregates. Threshold monitoring runs continuously, triggering alerts when usage patterns exceed configured limits.

Alert Types:

  • Usage quota warnings (API calls, storage, compute)
  • Cost budget notifications (approaching spend limits)
  • Performance anomalies (latency spikes, error rates)
  • Security events (unusual access patterns)

4. Automated Reporting (Scheduled Intervals)

Background workers generate scheduled reports using pre-calculated aggregates. Reports include usage trends, cost breakdowns, performance benchmarks, and service-level comparisons across time periods.

Report Schedules:

  • Hourly: Real-time operational metrics for platform monitoring
  • Daily: Usage summaries and cost tracking per organization
  • Weekly: Trend analysis and capacity planning insights
  • Monthly: Executive dashboards and billing reconciliation

Timeline: Real-time processing active immediately, batch reports available on configured schedules (hourly minimum)
