Side question. Posthog describes an event pipeline. Is there a saas/open source server with event pipelines where you can do add logic to do things, like: send email, notifications, send api call, maybe add custom logic etc. Ive seen things like segment.io, but didn't find a straightforward solution. Example: - if a user finished three workouts, send this notification. - if a user hasn't done a workout in a week remind them etc.

As far as I know, PostHog uses ClickHouse, Redis, and Kafka among other things. https://posthog.com/docs/self-host/architecture https://posthog.com/docs/self-host/architecture From the use cases you're describing, you might want to check out https://customer.io https://customer.io

  There is a minimal setup of Posthog with postgres and redis, if I'm not mistaken. The default setup is geared towards large scale deployments. Edit: The base docker compose is: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/blob/master/docker-compose.yml https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/blob/master/docker-compos...

  Customer.io seems closest! Nobody else does this, I have like 100's of transactional use cases: - Trial almost ending - New signup - CC expired - Reminders, confirmations - Workouts affirmation, reminder etc. etc. A pain to write a proper rule system and keep overview in own application. The challenge is not the simple emails / notifications. But to combine it with more complicated rules, and and + time conditinos I have the events already in the system, would love to transfer them and have a stable UI / where I can add, create pause etc.

PostHog released plugins recently (posthog.com/plugins) - these let you trigger webhooks in other systems based on realtime events that have taken place (as well as exporting/importing data/transformations etc). You just write a few lines of TypeScript in the platform (avg LOC is something like 80) - see https://posthog.com/docs/plugins/build https://posthog.com/docs/plugins/build. There are a bunch prebuilt too. Disclaimer: I work there

Potentially Mautic, I can’t think of any other open source marketing automation tools.

If you write your data into a data warehouse or clickhouse you could use something like https://hightouch.io/ https://hightouch.io/
