    I've been shocked how expensive everything here is compared to London. Everything is at least 2x, if not more. Grocery shopping has been a constant "can you BELIEVE toothpaste costs $10?" etc. That does also include rent.

    We’d love to do more quick deploy buttons. We’ve seen 500k events work with the hobby dev dyno and database which is $14/month. Depending on how much data history you want to keep you could upgrade to standard-0 on Heroku or spin up an

    For larger volumes of events, we wouldn't recommend using Postgres. The nice thing about single-tenancy is that in reality lots of users have small enough datasets that scaling isn't a problem. Heap et al have to scale to all of t

    Thanks! We really did start committing code on Jan 23rd -- but we had strong views on what a solution should look like as we experienced these problems first hand. We've already had requests from people to store events into different d

    Thanks! There's a hidden 'demo' page [0] that you can click around that will create some events. You can also add that URL when you create an action to test out the editor. [0] https://127.0.0.1:8000/demo

    We thought long and hard about this. We spoke to founders of other big OS projects - we think if developers at big companies want to use it, they'll want to use some of the enterprise features and reach out. We’ve already seen that sta

    Thanks so much! It's built on pretty simple/proven technologies: Postgres, Django and React. We've already seen this scale to millions of daily events on basic Heroku dynos. We can swap in other databases if you end up going

    Hi! If you mean the PostHog code itself, most of it is in the PostHog folder. If you want to send events from your own backend to PostHog, there's instructions for Ruby/Python/Node/API in the docs[0] [0] https:/&#x

    I built this list whilst researching ideas for my new project, then thought it’d be cool to share it. I’d love to hear any other favourite articles you have on best practices in this area - you can submit via a pull request or just me know!

    I used to work for a wordpress shop. All these other shops we're basically just a one-man show, but the one I worked for was flourishing, with 12 employees. When I asked why, the director explained that they used to only do business develop
