Just a heads up, You've got repeated line there

clickhouse-local is pretty slick as well. You can operate directly on text files as if they were tables. I made my own toy text file database thing and thought I was cool because I could outrun similar programs like q, textql, sqlite, etc. But clickhouse-local had me by a factor of 10 easy in every kind of query with every type of data. Those guys know stuff.

Have heard good things about local. Clickhouse more broadly is an awesome project and they're always on standby to help our eng team team as well.

We've been using highlight for our bootstrapped member management platform[1] and I gotta say I'm super impressed with the session replay feature, it's really helpful for understanding user behavior at a fraction of the price of competitors.

I remember wanting to use Heap's session replay only to release they want hundreds of dollars per _month_, my last bill with highlight was $2.38 I recall.

That's all to say that I'm glad Highlight is figuring out how to scale while still offering their features to the small players of the world.

What are startups using for a logging tool that isn’t datadog?

Might I suggest a complementary future feature set of load testing?
podoman · 2 years ago
We've thought of that briefly. You're essentially asking for some sort of synthetic monitoring right?

Definitely something we're thinking of. If you have any particular requirements, we're all ears.

(Im on mobile- sorry for the brevity/lack of deep demo context, it seems like the demo links dont work super gracefully on mobile)

I clicked into the demo (reference 3 in your post) and I dont get how this is different from any off the shelf OTel solution like Lightstep or Jaeger. Otel already has client side vendors and SDKs (I was the engineer who introduced OpenTracing to Plaid, and we did both). Bridging cross-network traces is literally the point of OTel, so Im not sure why thats a differentiator for you… every system does it.

The difference is that we also expose what the user is interacting with when these traces get fired. Perhaps on mobile your aren't able to view that?

Hi, this looks really nice as an alternative to Sentry. May I ask why the Docker-based setup requires Go, Node and Yarn on the host machine? I find it unfortunate that I have to install such non-standard tools on a machine to be able to run a setup that is based on Docker. This makes the whole setup way more complicated than it should be.
podoman · 2 years ago
I can confirm shortly, but I believe you don’t actually need those installed locally. That might be a mistake in our docs! Have you tried the docker setup without those tools?

Would this be useful to Shopify Shop Owners, those who buy 3rd party/additional apps on the shopify app store (or any similar such services, like an etsy store)?

Can this be used as a pen-testing tool to Highlight-TraceRt through a {target url}?

Re:

Yeah, though what benefits would surmise a Shopify Shop Keeper could get from your service, or do you think this is a tool that Shopify Corporate should be using on their hosting infra?

podoman · 2 years ago
Some additional thoughts. For Shopify store owners, they can definitely install Highlight if they have access to the site that they're hosting (we have some customers in this space!). This can help with optimizing their user experience, etc.. For our tracing SDKs in particular, they would only really work if the shopify developers have their own proprietary code running, however, because this requires application instrumentation.
