Though it’s obvious, nice write up. This is the kinda rabbit hole I enjoy going through and reading.

Are you running self hosted Postgres to run pg_lake?

Also, I am working on https://github.com/viggy28/streambed to perform analytics queries on S3 using DuckDB

I was tired of setting up additional read replicas and Snowflake for our BI teams, I built an analytics database using S3 and DuckDB.

Overall I agree with the sentiment. Still a long way to go before this open stack being production ready.

I know places which are easily paying 6 to 7 figures for their “analytics” stack and big part of it is the cloud data warehouse cost.

Even though they are mainly for DevTools/Infra you can try https://buildrappo.com/

As an early-stage tech founder, I have met multiple leaders there who are also angels on the side. All the best.

wondering does the same law applicable to Instacart, Postmates etc..?

Very nice. Curious can you compare and contrast with https://www.chatwoot.com/ (looks like they are also similar)

Yep! One thing that we wanted was to make our more customizable and hackable. So we have a React component you can install with https://github.com/papercups-io/chat-widget. We want to make it highly hackable and a bit more developer focused. But at the moment we are very similar to chatwoot and love the work they are doing.

To add on a bit -- it ~seems like chatwoot is just focusing on chat (which is exactly what we're starting with), but we do plan on expanding to other products beyond chat :)

(chatwoot may be doing that as well, but just wanted to mention it!)

more players in this space is definitely a good sign. it (in my opinion) means the idea is viable and competition is healthy.

exact reason why I moved from Onenote to Typora (for Mac) and Notability (for Ipad)
