Hi andreas, very cool post. I agree 100% that one should leverage his own database first thing: those are numbers easy to truck and on which you can rely on. Since I am looking for to undertake a medium(ish) OS project in Flask and D3.js I wanted to ask: do you think there might be a need for a good simple app that startups can run on their own servers and can use to segment their database? I know there is a bunch of analytics platforms out there. I work in finance, believe me I know. But I was wondering if there is any particular pain point for startups tracking their db numbers that has not been fixed yet.

Totally. There is one tool missing: A simple way to create own (database depended) dashboards. Most of the OSS tools (eg http://fnordmetric.io/ http://fnordmetric.io/ etc) focus on time-based graphs. Cool stuff. But personally i would rather look for a OSS tool that distributes also report files/recipes that startups can share. Eg. Retention Cohort, AARRR etc. If it would also have a simple way to add graphs even better. I was actually working on this kind of tool but stepped above my personal developer (skill) comfort-zone.
