Sounds fire, but if I were to validate claude's efficacy in this task step-by-step then wouldn't it be almost equivalent to do myself manually?

You need to validate complicated optimization ideas, it's seems to be fine extracting data from documents you already have, ask for missing info / documents and calculating numbers

I don't think that it's google's fault. Google sometimes trade ads on auctions, meaning they issue and HTTP request to partners asking "Hey, you want to show an ad here", and partner respond with price and HTML code, the highest bidder wins and HTTP code is inserted.

HTTP contains JavaScript, and theoretically anything can be executed within the browser (I've seen people mining bitcoins!).

Google can't monitor an execute every HTML snippet, but they doing pretty great job sampling responses and evaluating some of them. Fraudsters are smart, and trying to understand if the code is executed on Google's servers, but overall they are loosing.

It seems like a case where google's system didn't work.

By they way, all google partners are listed here: https://developers.google.com/third-party-ads/adx-vendors. Usually, it's possible to track down who's exactly responsible by looking at dev console

How do I scale jitsu if the load from my app servers become too big? Will adding more jitsu nodes trample the database nodes that jitsu writes to? How should I plan capacity for a jitsu deployment in a multi node scenario, and what should I take into consideration when scaling it?
vklmn · 4 years ago
Yes, just add more jitsu nodes. It's hard to answer how many nodes do you need (depends on transformations, CPU/RAM/etc), but you can count on thousands request per second per node at least

Are there any examples on how the resultant SQL tables look like in postgres or clickhouse for a given event schema? I'd like to know how generic it is per event type (is it sth like (event id, blob), or tries to decompose each event field into a column - what about nested objects then, etc.)). Knowing this would greatly improve my understanding on reusability of jitsu for various event-collection tasks I may have.

That's what the website missing indeed. We have a few words about that in docs, but it's still not enough https://jitsu.com/docs/internals/jitsu-server#mapping-step

Overall, Jitsu tries to decompose (aka flatten) JSON as deep as possible. E.g. {a: {b:1, c:2}} will become a_b=1, a_c=2. If column is missing, it will be created. We don't decompose arrays so far

Why would I use this instead of Airbyte?
vklmn · 4 years ago
Two reasons a) you can push events from your apps b) if you want to have more connectors available (Singer, and few native connectors)
