Database Views & Rails Active Record: defining new Model classes out of views
To model our Deliverable class, we will need a view. We will use the popular scenic gem, which provides some useful generators for creating views with their respective migrations, and utilities to handle views versioning.

Most performant way to build an analytics dashboard from a relational database backend that only stores numeric values, where the data the end-user sees is "categorized" into numeric brackets (e.g. 60-79 = Med, 80-100 = High, etc)
If the data doesn't need to be close to real-time, and if your DB can handle a bit of load, I'd use a "batch" approach. To do this, I'd create a materialized view in your relational DB that you'd then refresh periodically. The easiest way to do this is with the `scenic` gem. Once you've done this, you can simply create a new model and set the `table_name` to the name of the materialized view, and then treat it as a regular model.

Logidze 1.0, postgres-specific alternative to eg paper_trail for recording ActiveRecord change history
TIL about fx gem for storing triggers in schema.rb. That makes me so happy because scenic gem for creating database views is one of my favorites. Postgres is very powerful and it's great to see tools for exposing that through Rails.

Is Tableau Dead?
I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.

No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

BI vs custom queries in app
As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved.

I'd also highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects.

Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics
I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

The Blazer gem provides a nice way to analyze the results easily. It is simple to install and allows SQL queries to run against tables. The query here shows that the candidate implementation is significantly faster than the original.
