Connect PostHog to your Goodspeed app
Product analytics, session recording, and feature flags, all GDPR-compliant and consent-gated from day one. Goodspeed wires PostHog into every app that needs it at generation time, so you start with a working integration, not a blank config and a documentation tab.
WHAT GETS WIRED IN
Built into every PostHog build
Every app Goodspeed generates with PostHog includes these wired integrations from the first build. No manual setup required.

REAL GENERATED CODE
A snippet from a PostHog integration the pipeline ships
This pattern is lifted from the engineered plumbing that ships inside every Goodspeed app. The studio generates PostHog integration code like this for every app that includes it, not a placeholder you have to fill in yourself.
Consent-aware init
// lib/posthog.ts let _posthog: PostHog | null = null; export async function getPostHog(): Promise<PostHog | null> { if (_posthog) return _posthog; const granted = await checkAnalyticsConsent(); if (!granted) return null; if (!apiKey) return null; _posthog = new PostHog(apiKey, { host, persistence: 'memory', bootstrap: { distinctId: await getAnonymousId() }, }); return _posthog; }
