# Alpha Release: API Lens

> Our first public alpha with endpoint monitoring, request logs, setup guides, and production-ready ingest foundations.

# API Lens Alpha Is Live

This is the first public alpha release of API Lens.

API Lens helps engineering teams monitor API traffic, inspect payload-level behavior, and move from raw request data to action quickly.

## What You Can Do Today

* onboard an app and generate framework-specific setup snippets
* ingest API traffic without manually pre-creating endpoints
* monitor endpoint activity with time filters, search, sort, and pagination
* inspect request logs with payload and response visibility controls
* use passwordless-first authentication with optional password setup after login
* browse live OpenAPI reference in docs from `https://api.apilens.ai/api/v1/openapi.json`

## Platform Foundations in This Alpha

* multi-tenant backend guardrails across app-scoped APIs
* ClickHouse-backed analytics tables and migration flow
* PostgreSQL-backed app, auth, and product state
* deploy-time schema bootstrapping for relational and analytics storage

## Who This Alpha Is For

* teams validating API observability workflows before broader rollout
* developers integrating API Lens from FastAPI, Django/Ninja, and Flask projects
* engineering orgs wanting a clean, minimal UI with practical operational signals

## What Comes Next

* deeper endpoint detail workflows for payload and consumer analysis
* expanded framework setup flows and SDK ergonomics
* iterative UI hardening based on alpha usage patterns

If you are evaluating API Lens for your team, this alpha is the right starting point.
