Hey HN, Sammy and Lucas here. We are building an open-source framework that monitors your metrics, sends alerts when anomalies are detected and automates root cause analysis. Think of Datadrift as a simple & open-source Monte Carlo for

Work a lead data in a fintech company based in EU. I built a simple observability tool for key data assets in a data warehouse. It's a python monitor you add to a given table, it checks that table daily and tells you when there is an

Congrats for this - Love the bitemporal aspect. It was a real struggle for me in past analytics experiences where we spent a lot of time recomputing key metrics 'as of' certain dates for reporting / auditing. Been following t

It's more about engineering management but 'Accelerate: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations' by Nicole Forsgren (Github VP), Jez Humble and Gene Kim is a must-read.

Currently doing it for an open-source metrics observability and troubleshooting tool (15 PoC in production, no revenues yet). Committed about 30% of the amount so far, but it's tough and expectations seems ever increasing (revenues, co

One that comes top of mind is Swedish "startup" H2 Green Steel ( https://www.h2greensteel.com/ ). They're building a steel plant powered by a giga-scale electrolyser to produce hydrogen (rather than using coal)

Congrats - love this, especially joining across old and current data (or any point in time if i understood well?) I recently stumbled upon the concept of "bitemporal modeling" (ie. rewinding data "as of") - thought it de

I guess there's plenty of technical solutions to track changes, like scd or snapshots or audit tables - what I find interesting about git approach it's that it's much more user-friendly vs. SQL archeology to understand what c

Same for Chargebee lol. Was an analytics lead at a fintech company. We computed our revenues in our data warehouse based on Chargebee data. It was a nightmare because: #1 - raw data is indeed very messy. #2 - MRR can be theoretically be com

Co-founded a startup this summer, growth slower than what we want for now (isn't it always the case?). Every users feedback and business angel calls is an energy-giver. Every VC call has been a drainer.
