Really cool to see you guys talking about your journey, hope to see you succeed.
I caught Posthog a bit early as it was trending on Git, and sent the repo link out to a few startup + dev groupchats on WhatsApp because I think it complements Metabase incredibly well. The combination of PostHog + Metabase lets you stand up a really powerful free BI and product analytics stack in a few seconds, and these are two areas I see so many early-stage startups faltering on. Not collecting product and usage/user data and using it to gain actionable insights.
Excited to continue following along from the sidelines to see what the future holds for you.
- james_impliu 7y agoThanks - it's really nice to see the community sharing it! To your point on "in a few seconds"... We're currently trying to build out more libraries as fast as we can so people working on apps in lots of languages can easily integrate it - we've done Python, Ruby, NodeJS, JS, Go and PHP, and an API for the rest. Feature requests for new libraries as issues in the repo (https://github.com/posthog/posthog https://github.com/posthog/posthog) very welcome.
- gavinray 7y agoThe Docker bit (which seems an obvious choice) is what makes it cake. I just run a few bash commands and deploy PostHog + Metabase for friends on Cloud Run, since it's practically free (2,000,000 requests/mo) and has no operational burden. God bless Serverless Containers & Cloud Run. Throwing up an open source containerized BI, analytics, and observability/monitoring stack is usually the first thing I do for companies. It's super easy and delivers a ton of value. PostHog fits really well there.
- wdb 7y agoWhat would you use for "observability/monitoring stack"?
