Introduction

Ackly gives you instant visibility into what’s happening across your systems. Send an event from anywhere — a backend service, a script, a webhook handler — and it shows up in a live dashboard in real time, searchable and organized exactly the way you set it up.

There’s nothing to install. One HTTP request and you’re in.

What Ackly does

You make a POST request to an ingest endpoint with a JSON body describing something that happened. Ackly stores it and surfaces it in your workspace dashboard in real time.

What you send is up to you — the platform is intentionally general. An event is just a status (success, failure, or partial), an optional message, and any metadata fields you want to attach. No SDK required, no agent to install.

How it works

1. Create a workspace in www.ackly.dev to group related events
2. Create a source inside that workspace — this generates a unique ingest key
3. Send events to POST https://www.ackly.dev/api/ingest with your ingest key in the Authorization: Bearer <key> header, from any HTTP client
4. View events in the Ackly dashboard
