AppTelemetry

After quite some wrangling with big data tools to be able to accept a really large number of signals/events and still have good performance, I finished a first working MVP that can take a humungous amount of signals/events and have blazing fast live insights.

I started a sabbatical during which I originally wanted to travel. Since that wasn't possible anyway, I decided to start working on my idea instead trying to find out how to move my quick solutions into a workable product that would be valuable to others.

After going indie, I wanted to know how my apps were doing, so I hacked up a quick dashboard of how many users each app had per day, what were the retention numbers, which kinds of features did people use? All of this of course armed with the experience of how to run statistical analysis of large anonymous datasets to get the insights I wanted without compromising user privacy.
