GROWTH PATTERN

Building Activity Tracking for MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB Atlas manages data correctly, but lacks the infrastructure to identify inactive users or celebrate growth milestones.

What's Missing in Standard MongoDB Atlas Architecture

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

Standard MongoDB Atlas Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User has access to MongoDB Atlas features

2

Features available but usage not monitored

3

No activation prompts for unused features

Skene Flow
1

Monitor MongoDB Atlas 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

The Skene infrastructure for MongoDB Atlas tracks user activity and segments users by engagement. It automatically triggers retention campaigns for dormant users and celebrates milestones for active users.

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 MongoDB Atlas.

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'
  }
});
