@guocai_huang Thanks Curtis! We strongly believe in the direction we're taking with the richness of our Observability offering - telemetry is table stakes for mission critical applications. We want our customers to be able to use their existing observability tooling to look at logs, metrics, traces all in one place which we've found is essential for developer productivity and customer trust.

@guocai_huang That's great to hear Curtis! We truly value observability and being able to properly support any application in a production environment. This is why we have made it a priority to allow users to define their own logs and be able to trace them through their preferred observability vendor. I'm sure you will find it very useful to be able to customize your alerting based on that flexibility. Additionally, we have in-app offerings for view audit logs and we plan on adding many more observability features in the future!

@guocai_huang Thanks for your feedback! This is also my favorite feature since the scheduled jobs I built internally relies on it (yes we dogfood our own product!)

This looks like a solid up and coming competitor to the likes of Retool. Check out their Workflows, Scheduled Jobs, Observability — and consider that you can run this on-prem with direct Python support! Oh, and their pricing model is also worth a look! 👀

Loving this. The first question that comes to my mind is, How does this differ from Retool? Is it the premade blocks?

@soh3il we are 100% focused on developers to start which informs every product decision. I'll break it down more succinctly into 3 categories: Product, Deployment and Pricing. On Product, Superblocks had a greater breadth of offering, not only a UI Builder but also Workflows & Scheduled Jobs. You can also write Python and connect to your favorite observability vendors to monitor prod. In terms of Deployment both support cloud/on-prem, but our on-prem architecture is significantly lower overhead for the customer because it uses a lightweight agent rather than a fully on prem installation. And on pricing we charge per creator plus usage based fees for day passes so it's much more closely mapped to real value for the customer vs a flat seat-based pricing. Check out the product free and let us know what you think!

Superblocks is very exciting! Definitely have felt the pain of slow/deprioritized internal apps due to a lack of developer bandwidth in the past. Superblocks will unlock so much value by stitching together siloed internal data and systems. To top it up the UI is super intuitive and beautiful! Congrats on this beautiful product!

@shubham777 interestingly we've seen even the most hardcore engineering teams adopt Superblocks even though they have the talent in-house to build, just to save time and reallocate it to customer-facing and revenue generating apps. It's also amazing to see how many data silos a given company has not just the database and internal APIs, but also cloud object storage, data warehouses, 3rd party SaaS apps

@shubham777 appreciate the support! Brad and I have seen this first hand at previous companies. Internal tools are absolutely critical for running efficient business operations, teams often don't have the bandwidth to focus on tooling until it's too late.

Congrats on the launch, team! Superblocks has been our team's superpower for the past year. We're running essentially all our internal operations infrastructure on Superblocks. From daily Slack reporters that give us a sense of how performant our ad-spend is for all of our customers (we spend $100M+ / year!), to apps that run on Superblocks which help us do customer success management and revenue projections. I've been one of their earliest users and I've seen the platform get better every day. Incredible team behind this product. Highly recommend!

@ngardideh Pearmill has been an incredible design partner for us, and the richness of our platform owes a lot to our collaboration. So many of our early products like Workflows and Scheduled Jobs to features like Audit Logs and BigQuery integration to UI components like Charts and Tables have been developed in concert with your early use-cases. Here's hoping that Superblocks can help supercharge your ad-spend by multiple orders of magnitude, in the same way your contribution has supercharged the power of our platform.

Congrats on the launch! Definitely interested in using SuperBlocks in the Core Machine Learning group at Yelp. Some use cases we’re thinking of are some ml model / feature stores cataloguing tools, foundation model exploration / evangelizing tooling and some general model debugging / interpretability use cases as well. Exciting stuff folks can’t wait to dig in

Thanks @robin_singh11! We'd love to work with the ML group at Yelp. We actually have support for Python , Plotly, Pandas which a lot of Data Engineering Teams have been using. Could this be of interest? https://docs.superblocks.com/bui...

As someone who's spent ages building and maintaining internal tooling from the ground up, I think Superblocks fills a vital niche. It looks fantastic, I look forward to trying it out!

Thanks @adamklen! We've seen the same on our end. Platformizing internal tools and enabling them with features like version control and observability gives you the goodies you expect from typical software development.
