Looks great but why did you decide to develop your own query language instead of just using SQL? Even no-sql transactional database solutions started to adopt SQL lately and learning a new language is not really easy for the application dev

Unless you're only tracking the pageview events, it's not an additional request. Most of the analytics SDKs use either XHR or Pixel tracking. It's often easier to build up a separate analytics pipeline rather than using the b

You can still emulate the Referer header in order to trick the server side. It's easier to do this on the client side in order to avoid complexity on server-side because the servers need to be aware of all the browsers used by the clie

We do not use Snowplow here at Rakam but we have seen companies using Snowplow for tens of billions of events per month. Most of these companies are usually in the media industry. Shameless plug: We basically provide Mixpanel-like user inte

If you're using Segment for Mixpanel or other end-to-end analytics providers, that's OK but IMO the real benefit of using Segment is being able to collect all your company data including customer event data, marketing, and CRM int

Segment is great for early-stage startups as it takes care of data pipeline for you so that you don't need to hire data engineers or waste time downloading reports from marketing tools and analyzing data offline using a BI solution or

Seems similar to Backbone.js which was popular a looong time ago. Well, in fact, it's probably 4 to 6 years but it's a really long time for the front-end world. :)

Open-source gave AWS the ability to monetize their software so the software companies should be careful enough to prevent any other big company to steal their software and use their name to make money. I think that it's too late consid

I don't understand why people are reacting to it so aggressively. That's basically how AWS works, they did the same to Apach Kafka with Kinesis, Prestodb with Athena, PostgreSQL and MySQL with Aurora, Redis with ElastiCache and ma

Thanks for the suggestion Thomas. We're rebuilding the landing page at the moment and we will be updating it next week. In the meantime, here is a getting started video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8Cm5jzYUPw&t

Most analytics providers have JS SDKs that persist the data to localStorage. When the user comes back to the webpage, the SDK tries to send the persisted data to the server. It's not an ultimate solution but it usually covers most of

Are you a paid GA user? If that's the case, you can ingest your data into BigQuery. Otherwise; you can't export the raw data, the only option is to export the summary data (number of unique users per hour, day, week etc.) from GA

Elastic is great when it comes to storing the log data but since it's not ANSI SQL compliant, it's hard to run complex queries that involve JOINs, WINDOW operations, and subqueries. Depending on the data volume, you can use one th

That's the path many data-driven companies take lately. Most companies start with plug-and-play solutions such as GA or Mixpanel but as they start to dig into their customer data, they either hire data engineers or use ETL solutions to

What I understood is to add labels to e-mails and archive the emails that match those labels immediately. That way, you won't get any notification for those emails. Instead, you can open the emails whenever you want. Here it is: https

You could automatically archive the emails with that labeling feature as well, no need for the Google Scripts.

Our experience is that Cypress is the best tool out there in terms of better integration with CI tools even though it's not stable yet. We also connect to our cross-origin staging servers because it feels more e2e to us.

AFAIK Heap uses Citus but also has an internal partitioning scheduler for their customer event data so I don't think that they're a good example. Timescale doesn't support scaling out yet but it's in their roadmap so let

Use TimescaleDB if you have time-series data, if you want to scale out your OLTP workload then Citus is what you're looking for.

I wonder which BI tools they use for running ad-hoc queries on their Presto cluster. The user behavioral analytics is a hassle when you use SQL and generic BI solutions don't help with that. Also, I assume that they have dashboards tha
