24 alternatives to Ingestlayer – Programmable event tracking pipelines

Hey HN, I got tired of rewriting the same event handling code, so built a more permanent solution for myself. The idea is something happens here (a signup, a failed payment, a support ticket, an error) and three things need to happen there: a Slack message, a row in a database, an email. Every time it's a new handler in code (maybe even retries, a queue, etc.) and maybe even more work integrating with Customer.io, Zapier, and so on to "get it there". So I built my own, re-usable solution that handles the above. You build a pipeline, throw events at it (SDK or HTTP), and it runs on every…

    I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…

    Hi everyone! I wanted to share my analytics app with you. This project came from requirements to track certain very frequent events. I found that the cost to do it on a regular analytics product was much more than i was willing to pay. Secondly, I also wanted to use as few resources as possible. So I thought it may be a good idea to create something that may be useful for myself (and hopefully others). I have been able to track a great number of events with this using ~20 MB of storage and memory which is incredible. I have been really impressed by golang as a language and as an ecosystem…

    Hi HN! We’re Tony and Dan, the founders of Inngest - https://www.inngest.com. We’re an event-driven queueing system. Existing queueing solutions have pretty terrible UX. We solve this by making it simple for you to write delayed or background jobs by triggering step functions from JSON-based events. At a high level, Inngest does two things: - Ingest events from your systems via HTTP (pun intended) - Triggers serverless functions in response to specific events — async, either immediately or delayed. This allows you to build out async functions (eg. background jobs, handling…

    I built IncidentPulse after the classic "Slack-on-fire, status-page-outdated" outage chaos. It's a clean, self-hosted tool to track incidents, responders, and updates. Live Demo: https://incident-pulse.vercel.app GitHub: https://github.com/bhoyee/IncidentPulse I'm at a crossroads and would love your blunt feedback on one question: What's the ONE feature that would make you actually switch from your current process (be it PagerDuty, a messy Slack channel, or nothing) to a tool like this? Other things I'd love thoughts on: Is the webhook setup (with HMAC,…

    Hi HN, I built an uptime monitoring tool similar to other services, but more lightweight, easier to set up, and focused on developer flexibility. It includes all the essential features — keyword assertions, custom HTTP methods, retries, alerts via SMS/Email/Slack/Webhooks — with a clean JSON config system for advanced setups. I originally made it last month to learn more about Firebase Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, and to build something real for my portfolio. It turned out to be genuinely useful, so I’ve decided to share it. Would love your feedback – especially from devs…
