Looking for tool recommendations. Goal is to measure efficiency gains in common user paths. Ideally supports: 1. tracking user paths across arbitrary platforms (e.g., commit hooks, web UIs, shell scripts) 2. path analysis, including slicing and dicing those paths based and submitted metadata (e.g., persona, platform) 3. calculated values for subpaths 4. triggering user-visible actions at the moment of visiting a specific subpath (for e.g., surveys to learn more about unexpected gains) 5. a/b testing

It sounds like you want to implement tracing - you’d need to do some sort of webhook to a receiver (maybe otel is useful here) but I don’t think you’ll get this all in one tool without a lot of work.
E.g. Datadog has ci visibility, which is nice to see how shared workflows are used across projects and run times of those workflows vary as you make changes
But I think you’re asking a lot of the tooling tbh
Or need to provide a better end to end example

Thanks Nick. I looked at datadog and their support for those things wasn't clear. I just heard from a friend that PostHog may cover it. Looking into that now.

A quick perusal doesn’t make me think that it would work for all of your uses (mostly the commit hook - idk how I’d feel about adding a curl call to a commit hook, but the rest is possible)
But it is possibly the right track. Time to experiment
