RudderStack, open-source CDI (open-source Segment alternative)

RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server) is an open-source customer data infrastructure (a.k.a open-source alternative to Segment). We firstly want to thank the HN community for showing us love and support in our previous HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21081756). At that point, we had just open-sourced the repo and were not fully prepared for a Show HN. We wanted to share updates since then and also do our official Show HN. Updates since Sept 2019 ================= 1. Changed the name from Rudder to RudderStack :) 2. API…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server) is an open-source customer data infrastructure (a.k.a open-source alternative to Segment). We firstly want to thank the HN community for showing us love and support in our previous HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21081756). At that point, we had just open-sourced the repo and were not fully prepared for a Show HN. We wanted to share updates since then and also do our official Show HN. Updates since Sept 2019 ================= 1. Changed the name from Rudder to RudderStack :) 2. API compatibility with Segment 3. Open-source control plane so no dependency on the hosted control plane for open-source users. (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/blob/config-gen/utils/config-gen/README.md) 4. Multiple hosting options: Docker, Kubernetes, Native, Terraform. 5. 30 integrations (https://rudderstack.com/) including cloud mode and device mode 6. Support all the popular data-warehouses & lakes - RedShift, Snowflake, BigQuery, S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage (via MINIO) 7. Detailed documentation - https://docs.rudderstack.com/ 8. Multiple production deployments including few really large ones (our largest deployment is sending a peak of ~40K events/sec, ~100M events/day) 9. Switched license from SSPL to AGPLv3 (after long discussions internally as well as on HN) 10. Built some interesting Analytics & ML use cases 11. Launched our “paid plans” (primarily around managed hosting)

    Thi.ng – open-source building blocks for computational design2020 · ▲107

    The first stage of the new http://thi.ng website is live, an up-to-date & hopefully more useful springboard to the 250+ projects and overview of my opensource activity since 2006... Work is ongoing, collecting & re-organizing projects, assets, documentation and extracting interrelationships (incl. older work & music projects (e.g. http://thi.ng/synstack related), clients/people...). Aim is a proper archive of the past 20+ years of outputs & encounters. This is the first website update since 2015. As the timeline visualizations show,…

    dstack – an open-source tool to build data applications easily2020 · ▲134

    Dear HN, I am Riwaj, the cofounder of dstack.ai (https://github.com/dstackai). A few months ago, we built an online service that allows users to publish data visualizations from Python or R. The idea was to build a tool that did not require additional programming or front-end development for publishing data visualizations. Such a code can be invoked from either Jupyter notebook, RMarkdown, Python, or R scripts. Once the data is pushed, it can be accessed via a browser. Open-sourcing dstack: During our customer discovery phase, we realized that dstack.ai should integrate a lot…
