tangram VS PostHog

Head over to https://www.tangram.dev and give it a try!

In this post, we will go over how we optimized our Gradient Boosted Decision Tree library. This is based on a talk that we gave at RustConf 2021: Writing the Fastest Gradient Boosted Decision Tree Library in Rust. The code is available on GitHub.

You can check out the Tangram Ruby Gem. We built it using Ruby FFI and the source is available on our GitHub repo.

We are using Rust for our web application and website at Tangram. You can view the source here: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram/tree/main/crates/www. The website is at https://www.tangram.dev. We decided to write our own web framework because we needed server rendering and we wanted to use the builder pattern in creating components. Here is an example component for our Logo to get a sense of what this looks like: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram/blob/main/crates/www/ui/logo.rs

Tangram | Senior Rust Programmer | Remote | https://www.tangram.dev

Tangram is an all in one machine learning framework designed for programmers. With Tangram, developers can train models and make predictions on the command line or with libraries for languages including Elixir, Go, JS, Python, Ruby, and Rust, and learn about their models and monitor them in production from a web application. To learn more about what the product does, watch the demo on the homepage at https://www.tangram.dev or check it out on GitHub at https://www.github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram.

We are looking to grow our engineering team with senior Rust programmers. We are currently based in Boston, MA but are looking to build a remote team. At Tangram, you'll get to work on everything from our core machine learning algorithms to writing front-end code in Rust! We are looking for developers with experience in Rust and familiarity with or willingness to learn machine learning concepts. If this sounds exciting, email me (Isabella, cofounder) at [email protected].

We chose to use Rust instead of TypeScript for the front end of https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram.

This allows us to:

* Share code with our server written in Rust.

I'm working on machine learning in Rust at Tangram. We currently only provide an implementation of linear models and gradient boosted decision trees but will move into exposing training of deep models in the future. You can check out Tangram here: https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram. You may also be interested in checking out Linfa https://github.com/rust-ml/linfa.

It would be a shame not to mention PostHog as the telemetry provider we are using, since it turned out to be extremely useful. Because it is hard to find people who will talk with you about your product, gathering statistics gave us a much greater insight into our users.

6- PostHog

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.

how's this different than https://posthog.com/ ?

PostHog - Open Source Alternative to Mixpanel

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

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?

PostHog | Remote (US/Europe timezones) | Full stack engineer, technical ex-founder, tech lead | https://posthog.com

PostHog is the only open-source Product OS, combining product analytics, session recordings, feature flags, cdp and a data warehouse in one.

We have a culture of written async communication (see our handbook [0]), lots of individual responsibility and an opportunity to make a huge impact. Being fully remote means we're able to create a team that is truly diverse. We're based all over the world, and the team includes former YC founders, CTOs turned developers and recent grads.

There seems to be posthog.com analytics and AB or feature flag functionality that is blocked by adblockers. Probably that?
