Congrats on the launch! I was one of those guys thinking Amplitude was all that I needed. By trying your tool, I realized that indeed analytics weren't supposed to be that hard to setup.

That's awesome to hear!

Can I use June to get customer facing dashboards for customer slices of segment data?

We haven't thought of this. Would love to learn more about your use case! Feel free to email me at ferruccio at june dot so

Basically we collect analytics on behalf of our customers into segment. We want to provide access to these analytics to our customers, but just their slice of segment that contains their data. Each customer, of which we have a lot, wants their own slice of segment shown to them.

Congrats on the launch, Ferruccio! Hope to see you next time we'll go in France. Do you plan to add alternatives to Segment?

Oh wow great to see you here :) We were talking with Freshpaint and have plans to integrate with Rudderstack too at some point. In fairness every company we talked to either used Segment or Google Tag Manager, or implemented the Amplitude SDK So those integrations might come first

Today my team decided to use RudderStack because it’s open source and cheaper than segment. I’m integrating GA UA API as a destination and it has been a chore, but I’m really keen to help support OSS products as much as I can.

Do you store the data you received from Segment. If so, how ? and how it is "secured"?

Yes we store the data from Segment as it's just a pipeline. Data is stored on AWS on a managed DB that is encrypted, always up to date with security patches and never leaves our infrastructure. If your data is extremely sensitive and this isn't enough you can always remove PII from your Segment settings That being said if you have any suggestions on things that we could do to be more safe I'm happy to learn

Can't you run this in top of customers data warehouse? Over 30pc of Segment customers have a data warehouse (the number is over 60-70pc for RudderStack). If you could build these of a customers data warehouse, it can be quite powerful and not face "another SaaS tool" hurdle in companies.

Plus this can be much cheaper than you storing the data (and making 80pc margin on top).

I think decoupling product analytics from storage can be powerful. The BI tools (like looker) do it but they are not great for product / customer analytics
