The Risks of User Impersonation
The next rung up are User recordings. For users that are having issues, we have concrete recorded data for their flow. The flows would include anything relevant to the application, how they used it, what actions they took. All so we can actually see what happened in context for when there is a problem. No one wants to spend any time looking at recordings if they don't have to. It is also very difficult to identify the root cause of problems by reviewing a recording, but having them is indispensable to your support engineers when they need them, when a user has reported a issue. Solutions include PostHog, FullStory, Sentry. If you don't have these recordings, then the next best alternative (which is very far away) is getting a live screencast from the user. These are less useful, and more expensive to obtain. Worst of all, they can and have been used to breach sensitive systems.

Posthog. Posthog has a lot of sub products but I use it mainly for analytics and session replays. I have to say Posthog is an impressive product. Everything from dev experience to dashboards is just awesome. Great to see GA finally got some real competition. I'm looking forward to try all the other products from them.

Open-source data collection & modeling platform for product analytics
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.

What are the different ways to collect large amounts of data, like millions of rows?
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!

What companies/startups are using Scala (open source projects on github)?

We should start looking for google analytics alternatives
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.

The Big Data Game – Because even a simple query can send you on an unexpected journey. Help the 8-bit data engineer to get the data
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.

Reference Data Stack for Data-Driven Startups
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.

Cookie-based tracking is dead
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.
