grouparoo VS webviz

Reverse ETL is on AirByte's roadmap under the "Future / Not prioritized" section. I wanted to use Grouparoo as a short term solution, but the repo was archived and I think they stopped taking new cloud customers (unknown if this is wrong/outdated).

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.

Reverse ETL: Grouparoo, Castled

Grouparoo, the open source Reverse ETL tool we are building, does all of these things. https://www.grouparoo.com

Grouparoo is a venture-backed software company building open source data tools that make data reliable, accessible, and actionable. We’re empowering teams to make great customer experiences, driven by data. While engineering teams have gotten good at storing and generating data about their customers, it’s rare that this data is used to its full potential in external applications. Grouparoo makes these integrations easy by providing a framework for defining your customer data and reliably syncing it to external 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)

We are building Grouparoo. Obviously, it's a biased sample but we are seeing a few trends at play.

Has anyone heard or used of reverse etl or Hightouch or open sourced Grouparoo?

For the web based part, in terms of integration with ROS RobotWebTools (especially with RoslibJS) and rosbridge cover already a lot, so maybe you may want to first check what's available there. Webviz is also a great web based tools with many components for visualisation.

Hey HN, one of the creators here! I made it at Cruise because it was super painful to develop https://webviz.io with manual memory management (lots of ArrayBuffers), WebWorkers, etc. I thought that there must be a better way.

Very curious to hear stories from other folks building intensive stuff in the browser. How are you dealing with performance issues in Javascript? Have you tried using Rust or C++ with WebAssembly for parts of your apps? How did you make 2d/3d rendering faster? Would you want to use something like Zaplib?

Webviz is a great tool. Just drag the .bag file onto the browser window and you can start viewing the data.

Webviz is actually open source for the most part. https://webviz.io

Cruise | Software Engineer | San Francisco, Seattle, or REMOTE | VISA acceptable | https://www.getcruise.com

Cruise is building the world’s most advanced, self-driving vehicles to safely connect people to the places, things, and experiences they care about. We believe self-driving vehicles will help save lives, reshape cities, give back time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many.

I'm an engineering manager hiring specifically for the Webviz (http://webviz.io/) team. I'm looking for frontend engineers who want to make fast, beautiful browser-based visualizations of the car using WebGL, WASM and Javascript.

Much of the work that we do on this team is open-sourced (check out the code at https://github.com/cruise-automation/webviz). Cruise vehicles produce mountains of data; we have to visualize it in dozens of different ways at a high frame rate. We recently built a Javascript object proxy that wraps all of our input binary data in an object-like interface that only parses data on access, so that we can limit garbage collection pressure and improve our frame rate. If this kind of project sounds interesting, you might enjoy working on Webviz!

Reach out directly to me if you're interested in the above (open to associate/senior/staff levels), or if you have any questions about Cruise.

PS - for those of you who have seen or used Webviz, Foxglove may look familiar. Some of our team previously worked on Webviz at Cruise, and we reused much of their code, although it has been heavily refactored, several new features added, and we have more coming soon.
