I'm surprised it's not mentioned yet, but this seems to compliment last year's acquisition of observability tool HyperDX[1] (part of ClickStack[2]) quite well. I'm in the market for a new o11y platform and it seems all v

We've used it for about a year - Blazer is okay if you need a quick SQL query console, but we found it lacking as a business intelligence tool. The support for graphs and dashboards is limited, for graphs it requires you to structure t

Have you tried Tapioca ( https://github.com/Shopify/tapioca ) with Sorbet? Typing in general has ways to go sure, but I find this combination quite usable in my day to day.
