GROWTH PATTERN

Building Activity Tracking for Cassandra

Cassandra stores data efficiently, but there's no system to detect behavioral patterns and trigger growth workflows based on user activity.

What's Missing in Standard Cassandra Architecture

Cassandra stores data efficiently, but there's no system to track user behavior patterns and identify when users become inactive or hit growth milestones.

Standard Cassandra Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User has access to Cassandra features

2

Features available but usage not monitored

3

No activation prompts for unused features

Skene Flow
1

Monitor Cassandra usage patterns and feature adoption

2

Identify users who haven't used key features

3

Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases

4

Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This

We created a Skene Prompt that installs behavioral tracking for Cassandra. It monitors Cassandra tables for user activity patterns and automatically triggers re-engagement campaigns when users become inactive.

Implementation Comparison

Using Skene Infrastructure

Install via Prompt

cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Retention Loop pattern for Cassandra.

Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor

Generated skene.config.ts

skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';

export default defineLoop({
  type: 'retention',
  opinion: 'Detect dormant users and trigger personalized re-engagement campaigns',
  steps: [
    {
      trigger: {
        type: 'schedule',
        cron: '0 9 * * *' // Daily at 9 AM
      },
      condition: {
        type: 'query',
        query: `SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_activity_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days' AND re_engagement_sent = false`,
        timeout: '10m'
      },
      action: {
        type: 'email',
        provider: 'resend',
        template: 're_engagement',
        personalization: {
          name: '{{user.name}}',
          lastActivity: '{{user.last_activity_at}}'
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  recovery: {
    retries: 3,
    backoff: 'exponential'
  }
});
