Products that do what Complete catalog of data connectors and ETL providers does
My team built this free open-source catalog that allows anyone to search through any data connector/source. There's a list of ETL providers for each so your analytics and BI projects can be as comprehensive as possible.

We are building Quary (https://quary.dev), an engineer-first BI/analytics product. You can find our repo at https://github.com/quarylabs/quary and our website at https://www.quary.dev/. There’s a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3hO65_lkGU As engineers who have worked on data at startups and Amazon, we were frustrated by self-serve BI tools. They seemed dumbed down and they always required us to abandon our local dev tools we know and love (e.g. copilot, git). For us and for everyone we speak to, they end up…

I have created an open-source alternative to Mixpanel and will explain a bit about why I decided to do this. Mixpanel is a GREAT tool and quite easy to understand (compared to GA4 and similar). I have used Mixpanel extensively for one of my React Native apps, but the last invoice was $300, which was way over my budget. I think I was paying for MTU (monthly tracked users), which was around 7000-10k users. However, a downside of Mixpanel is that it is purely a product analytics tool; you don't get any basic web analytics similar to what GA4 or Plausible offers. Therefore, I have combined the…

Every data pipeline job I had to tackle required quite a few components to set up: - One tool to ingest data - Another one to transform it - If you wanted to run Python, set up an orchestrator - If you need to check the data, a data quality tool Let alone this being hard to set up and taking time, it is also pretty high-maintenance. I had to do a lot of infra work, and while this being billable hours for me I didn’t enjoy the work at all. For some parts of it, there were nice solutions like dbt, but in the end for an end-to-end workflow, it didn’t work. That’s why I decided to build an…

Hi HN! I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (https://sourcetable.com). Sourcetable is an AI-native spreadsheet that syncs with all your data. Users pair with an AI copilot that helps them do their spreadsheet work, as well as more database-centric analysis and SQL. Soucetable syncs with databases including Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB, and over 100+ business applications including Stripe, Zendesk, Hubspot, Quickbooks and Google Analytics. That data is available in a spreadsheet, and any models you build automatically update in near-real-time as new data flows in. The core primitives…

Hi HN! We're Evgeny and Arjun, and we’re building a simpler way for startups to do data analytics. Since open-sourcing our Postgres read replica optimized for analytics (https://github.com/BemiHQ/BemiDB), we started hearing a familiar story. Teams would connect Postgres, feel relieved that they didn’t have to wrangle complex ETL pipelines, but then hit a wall as soon as they wanted to join data from HubSpot, Stripe, etc. They’d do hacky things like use Airbyte to sync data to their Postgres, so that it’d then auto sync to their BemiDB analytical database. We want to…

Hi, Piotr here I was collecting nice open-source companies for quite some time now. Mostly to take some inspiration and learn from their code. Last week, I though it would be fun to learn this Astro thing everyone's talking about. So I thought building a directory website out of this collection was pretty good idea. After 2 days of building, OpenAlternative was born. It's a community driven list of open source alternatives to proprietary software and applications. Enjoy and thank you for your support!

Definite is a data-stack-in-a-box. We give you ETL (connectors to 500 data sources), a data warehouse, and BI (reports & dashboards) in one app. We have a built-in modeling layer for core metrics and an AI assistant to answer questions about your business. Here's a 3 minute demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YjXXljXV9I Since we're handling ETL, we already know what each source looks like and have pre-built data models for them. This means you can instantly build a report that connects both Hubspot and Stripe data or Klaviyo and Shopify data. We're working closely with…

Hey HN, I am Alex. I am open sourcing Data Studio, a lightweight data exploration IDE in your browser that runs locally. Try it: https://local.dataspren.com (no account needed, runs locally) More information: https://github.com/dataspren-analytics/data-studio I love working with data (Postgres, SQL, DuckDB, DBT, Iceberg, ...). I always wanted a data exploration tool that runs in my browser and just works. Without any infra or privacy concerns (DuckDB UI came quite close). Features: - Data Notebooks - SQL cells work like DBT models (they materialize to views) -…
