This looks great but was there a reason for going with Postgres over something purpose built for analytics like Clickhouse? I am seriously considering building a similar tool for our platform as the cost of Mixpanel/Amplitude is cost prohibitive at our scale. We had to move off Google Analytics and run our own Matomo server, and it brings MariaDB to a grinding halt.

In any case, will be looking closer at this. Looks very interesting. Thanks.

We have actually integrated Clickhouse already for this reason. We started with Postgres as it works well for smaller volumes, but we have this integration in a paid version.

Thanks James. I'll keep this in mind and might shoot you guys an email. Cheers and good luck!

Have you tried Countly then? It's a serious contender to Mixpanel/Amplitude, self hosted and backend is MongoDB (if that is something you are interested in).
