turning-engineering-analytics-into-insights
Converts engineering analytics (PR / CI) data into saved PostHog insights, dashboards, and subscriptions, and explains how to query the product data directly with SQL. Covers discovering per-team GitHub warehouse tables via engineering-analytics-sources, replicating curated column semantics in HogQL, reading exposed engineering_analytics_* warehouse views where product logic is involved (CI cost, fingerprinted failure lines, commit attribution), saving queries with insight-create, and scheduling delivery with subscriptions-create. Use when asked to "save this as an insight", "put CI health / merge times on a dashboard", "email me PR throughput weekly", "chart CI cost", "track time to first review", "subscribe to these numbers", "alert on CI success rate", or "what data/tables/views does engineering analytics read". For ad-hoc CI and merge questions use diagnosing-ci-and-merge-bottlenecks; to investigate one specific CI failure use investigating-ci-failures.
