Introduction
What Vanta is, how it works, and how to get started.
Vanta is event analytics for developers. You send structured events from your application, and Vanta collects, stores, and lets you explore them in a real-time dashboard.
How it works
- Install an SDK in your application (Node.js, browser, React, or Next.js)
- Send events using
vanta.track()with a type and any data you want - Explore events in the dashboard, filter by type, search by user, or view analytics
Every event automatically gets context: browser, OS, device, country, city. You don't configure this.
Architecture
Vanta has three parts:
- SDKs run in your app and send events to the API
- API receives, validates, enriches, and stores events
- Dashboard lets you search, filter, and visualize events in real time
