This is an interesting approach to pricing in a competitive space. I wonder, who is the target or ideal user for Datawaves?

@jacobhartog Thanks. We wanted the users to free their minds from choosing the (right) package, or keep upgrading while they scale. Will see how it goes. It is for any development team that wants to add analytics fast and focus on their actual product. Also, the Free Plan is great for individual programmers or startups that want to try the product or won't push too many events.

@mrwnmonm Cool. I recently integrated analytics for a new react/node product, and was surprised I couldn't find something cheap & simple. I ended up with Segment (using free credits) so that I didn't have to think about it anymore.

@jacobhartog Didn't know that Segment has this kind of functionality. Could you explain more please

@mrwnmonm Sure. The functionality is different, but from my point of view it meets the same need: not worrying about analytics. I'm using the Segment SDK to send generic events via their servers. In the Segment webapp, I can pick where the events end up. I'm currently sending to a trial version of Mixpanel to view events in pretty charts. Using Segment means I can switch to send events anywhere (to Datawaves someday?) but of course I have to pay a premium for that flexibility.

@jacobhartog Clever. We will definitely build an integration. Thanks for pointing that out.

Marwan congratulations for the hunt :-) Do you mind sharing your tech stack? Do you use elasticsearch?

@alaattink Yes we do. We use Elastic Cloud, since some AWS ES users raised some concerns before about the service.

I see your pricing is way better than Keen's pricing, and making reads free is awesome. Definitely will try it out.

This pricing is ridiculously high. Compare this to Amplitude, which, no, doesn't provide an API, but provides the ability to send to a data warehouse and access via SQL (and theoretically HTTP) as well as an entire user interface for analysts to access for a fraction of the cost. I definitely want something like this but the pricing is incredibly high for companies with any moderate volume or higher.

@allnick Hi Nick, our main competitor is keen.io, take a look at their pricing page here https://keen.io/pricing/, the Team plan ($299) gives you 250K event and 5K queries, now compare that to our offer, with Datawaves you can record 1M event for just $150, and the queries are free, so the price is very much less. Can you explain your use case more please, or contact us on support@datawaves.io

@datawaves @mrwnmonm I'm familiar with Keen and to be fair my comment is not a 1-to-1 comparison so it's not completely accurate. That said, when I think about recording data at our business, we want two things: (1) ability to perform analysis with as little effort as possible, and (2) a way to persist that information to a place that's easily accessible and doesn't lock us in to the selected vendor's feature limitations. This partially accomplishes #2. When building a white label service (which Keen and your product are great for), I think that the inability to run SQL queries would be a major limitation. Do you all have data warehousing solutions?

Right now, no. But we will definitely look into that. But the point is, when you use something like Keen or Datawaves, you don't use it as your main database, you just depend on it for analytics, so usually you won't need the raw data too often, you just need to analyze it.

And of course, you can have your data any time you want. Right now you have to make a request to extract your data. But we will make it possible from the dashboard in the future. If you like to expand more on your use case, please contact us on support[at]datawaves[dot]io so we can discuss this further and maybe adjust the price for you.

@datawaves @allnick Hi Nick, we dropped the price to $0.000015 per write, which is $15 for 1M writes. Please send us your feedback here or at support@datawaves.io

Looks interesting. Product analytics has largely been out of reach for smaller companies. Leaders like Segment, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc. do offer free plans but those become useless very quickly and one is forced to upgrade. There is definitely space for a tool like Datawave. Cheers to the team!
