Quickstart
Install the SDK, send your first event to Tessera and watch it arrive in the live debugger. A working pipeline in under five minutes.
This guide takes you from an empty workspace to a live event in a few minutes. You’ll need a Tessera account and a terminal. Nothing else.
1. Create a workspace
Sign in to the dashboard and choose New workspace. Give it a name your team will recognise, like the product or environment it belongs to. You can rename it later.
2. Install the SDK
Tessera ships official SDKs for Node, Python and Go. The CLI below installs the Node SDK and writes a config file with your workspace ID.
terminal
npm install @tessera/sdk npx tessera init --workspace northwind
3. Send an event
Call track with an event name and any properties you care about. Events show up in the live debugger within a second or two.
index.js
import { Tessera } from "@tessera/sdk" const tessera = new Tessera(process.env.TESSERA_KEY) await tessera.track("Order Completed", { orderId: "ord_1042", total: 129.0, })
