Chartbrew VS Snowplow

I'm working part-time on my project https://chartbrew.com

It's an open-source data visualization and reporting platform that I started in 2018, I abandoned in 2019, then resumed working on it more seriously in 2020.

Currently, the platform is doing $1,138 in MRR from then managed hosting service and has made over $11k in revenue so far. It's been growing steadily in the last few months but going through a rough Dec-Jan period at the moment. You can see the open page at https://chartbrew.com/open

Onwards and great job everyone at working to make side projects work for you!

Chartbrew (server): Chartbrew is open-source reporting service which really makes it easy to visualize data.

I did the same thing with Google Firebase for my herb garden! Also, if you want to chart data, Chartbrew is a great tool. I plan on doing this with a hanging drip wall as soon as my area has spring plants to buy!

There's an indie-hacker I follow building this: https://chartbrew.com/

From what I understand, it's more like an easier-to-use grafana, where you can build charts/graphs from different data sources.

We’ve also thought about Ops :-). There’s a backend 'Collector' that stores data in Postgres, for instance to use while developing locally, or if you want to get set up quickly. But there’s also full integration with Snowplow, which works seamlessly with an existing Snowplow setup as well.

Sure thing! Say you run an online store. Your source systems could be the inventory, orders or customer databases. You could also track click/site behavior with something like snowplow. An ERP system is essentially just a combination of what I mentioned previously. Another good example is a CRM such as Salesforce or Zendesk. Hopefully that helps!

There are so many of them in big data, e.g. Kafka, Spark, Flink, Delta, Snowplow, Finagle, Deequ, CMAK, OpenWhisk, Snowflake, TheHive, TVM-VTA, etc.

I added Snowplow Analytics to a site with a lot of traffic. It was a very basic implementation, where data is collected with Snowplow, stored in google big query, and visualized in google data studio. The data is collected from the caching/web server combined with a client-side tracker.

Well if you have to structure and create Schema and manage Data Warehouses, you need a tool to do that, so in the background you see SnowPlow, which helps you do just that. Make the data into some kind of sensible structure so that later on business analysts can come see whats up. Want to do a quarterly report on how you performed, go to the application that goes to the data warehouse and builds your report for you. Want to compare to other similar companies in the portfolio to see how they are performing, same story. Data scientists will build and structure the data and store it and manipulate it and extract the value from it so that the analysts and sales people can then come in and do some selling. Show the customers what they got for their money and guarantee the renewal.

We also have telemetry set up on our Monosi product which is collected through Snowplow,. As with Airbyte, we chose Snowplow because of its open source offering and because of their scalable event ingestion framework. There are other open source options to consider including Jitsu and RudderStack or closed source options like Segment. Since we started building our product with just a CLI offering, we didn’t need a full CDP solution so we chose Snowplow.

That's the only full featured open source competitor I am aware of, so it should be mentioned.

Somewhat FOSS. There was a story there, but I don't remember the details.
