Reference Data Stack for Data-Driven Startups
There are other tools that we will have to adopt in the future but haven’t yet due to lack of necessity. Specifically, one category that is popular in modern data stacks is Reverse ETL (Hightouch, Census, or Grouparoo). We currently don’t have a usecase for piping data back into 3rd party tools but it will definitely come up in the future.

Grouparoo is a venture-backed software company building open source data tools that make data reliable, accessible, and actionable.

Grouparoo makes these integrations easy by providing a framework for defining your customer data and reliably syncing it to external tools.

Launch HN: Hightouch (YC S19) – Sync data from data warehouses to SaaS tools
Congrats on the launch! Hightouch looks great and this need is real. Things seem to be going well, so I don't think I'm taking too much away by mentioning that we have been been working on Grouparoo, an open source alternative that solves similar pain points.
A few differences: git developer workflow focused (branches, CI, PRs, etc), ability to self host, segmentation in destinations (tagging people in mailchimp based on rules, for example)

Bundling and Distributing Next.js Sites via NPM
The final thing we learned is that while the contents of the .next directory are needed for your visitors, not everything is needed. We saw that we were shipping 300mb packages to NPM for our Next.js UIs. We dug into the .next folder and learned that if you opt-into Webpack v5 for your Next.js site, large .next/cache/*.pack files will be created to speed up how Webpack works. This is normal behavior, but we were inadvertently publishing these large files to NPM! We added the .next/cache/* directory to our .npmignore and our build sizes went down to a more reasonable 20mb.

Using Typescript to create a Robust API between your frontend and backend
The Grouparoo Application is stored in a monorepo, which means that the frontend and backend code always exist side-by-side. This means that we can reference the API code from our Frontend code, and make a helper to check our response types. We don't need our API code at run-time, but we can import the types from it as we develop and compile the app to Javascript.

Deferring Side-Effects in Node.js until the End of a Transaction
Looking deeper into how cls-hooked works, we can see that it is possible to tell if you are currently in a namespace, and to set and get values from the namespace. Think of this like a session... but for the callback or promise your code is within! With this in mind, we can write our run method to be transaction-aware. This means that we can use a pattern that knows to run a function in-line if we aren’t within a transaction, but if we are, defer it until the end. We’ve wrapped utilities to do this within Grouparoo’s CLS module.

Using Analytics on My Website
Hi HN, PostHog employee here. I'm working on our Web Analytics product, which is currently in beta. It's fun to see us mentioned here :)
I should mention that we have a ton of SDKs (see https://posthog.com/docs/libraries) for back end frameworks and languages, so if you wanted to use PostHog without any client-side JS you could send pageviews and other events manually, but for the vast majority of people it makes more sense to use our JS snippet.
Hijacking this comment to share the roadmap for web analytics https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/18547. It's very much in the launch-early-and-be-embarassed phase, but I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions that people have, particularly if you're already a PostHog user.

Ask HN: Where to Store Logs?
Don't insert the logs/events/analytics into your Application DB. Usually, you send those to specialist datastores (OLAP etc) that process such high volume of data. You can use something like clickhouse [0] for example or use 3rd party SAAS solutions like posthog [1] etc that are built on top of clickhouse
-
Ask HN: What would you use to build a mostly CRUD back end today?
I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.
Now...
Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

Recommendations for self-hosted Google Analytics alternatives?
Matomo or PostHog
-
Ask HN: If we make it open source, how do we monetize it?
You can earn by offering a hosted version and releasing an open-source version under the GPL license, similar to Plausible [1]. This approach can help reduce competition with the hosted version.
Alternatively, you can release the software under the MIT license and keep certain parts of the code under an enterprise license, following the PostHog model [2]. This allows you to offer an enterprise version and charge for it.
Ultimately, the decision should be based on your target users. Small businesses may prefer the hosted version as it relieves them of hosting and maintenance responsibilities.
