They actually link to another blog post (https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2018/06/14/scalable-increment...) that solves this with pg_sequence_last_value().

I personally couldn't find this function, but I believe they might be talking about lastval (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-sequence.h...).


Agreed. Short questionnaires are always a pleasant surprise.


Hi Brett


I wouldn't call Redshift "excellent", nor would I call ClickHouse "way behind". ClickHouse was the best choice for my last employer's use case (https://twitter.com/zeeg/status/987009550501928960), after many other solutions were tested and benchmarked.

Just because a tool doesn't have a specific feature checklist doesn't mean you should categorically rule it out, particularly if you don't have experience using/running/deploying it.



Testament to Google Finance's abandonment: still using Flash.


Yeah, a real shame too. I really liked the simplicity of `finance.google.com`. It appears new development has been done at `google.com/finance`... a different interface with less information.

And it surprisingly still uses flash. So.. who knows when it will die?


We use this at Sentry for reporting for non-SQL-literate folks (also so we don't need to grant yet another 3rd party access to our data). It works pretty well

We mostly use self-hosted Redash for day-to-day analytics for ad-hoc analytics questions.


Sentry | Growth Engineer | San Francisco | Full time, on-site

https://sentry.io

Sentry is error logging. We're 100% BSD-licensed open source (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry). We're mostly Python and JS, with a dash of Rust. Sentry is deployed at just about every major technology company (teams at Dropbox, Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Twitter, Atlassian, Microsoft, Apple, etc).

While Sentry is over 40 people, the growth team is small (3 people!) but focused. All of us are technical (everyone commits code), analytical (you measure and present your experiments), and organized (we are our own PMs). In people, we prefer action over pontification, honesty over polish. If you like developer tools, open source, and experimenting with SaaS economics, message me or apply below. I'm eric@.

Strange, we definitely have a free tier (and have had one for years). Our current free plan includes 10k events a month.

But yes, hosting it yourself is the ultimate free tier.

Obvious disclaimer, I work at Sentry.


Awesome! I clearly read something misinformed; there is totally a free plan. Makes you guys even more great


We use Redash at Sentry and it's become critical for marketing, sales, even engineering.

Open source ftw!
