Hi everyone! I wanted to share Fabra— product analytics for the modern data stack. Fabra runs directly on your data warehouse, meaning we don't add another data silo or need you to setup costly ETLs.

In addition to self-hosting our open source product, we also offer a hosted version which is WAY cheaper than other tools since we don't store any data.

Let us know if you have any feedback, you can always reach me at nick@fabra.io

Hey, congrats on the launch. This may be clear for others, but personally I’m missing a bit more details. What precisely is “product analytics on [a] data warehouse”? Are you an Amplitude competitor? Or more of a DIY scripting alternative?

I like that you kept things brief but some screenshots and use cases would be a nice improvement for the landing page.

How do you build a data warehouse without ETL?

Cool, I'll give it a spin tomorrow on a fairly hefty dataset and see how it goes.

That's right, we're an Amplitude competitor— but run the queries directly in our customer's own data warehouse.

Appreciate the feedback, will be uploading more screenshots shortly.

We aren't a data warehouse, just the query-building and visualization layer. We let product teams easily do things like build funnels, measure trends, and more with the data they've already collected.

Fabra is built for the modern data stack, meaning our customers already send all of their data to a central data warehouse as their single source of truth.

It looks like Chartbrew connects to various third-party tools directly, which can lead to silos/discrepancies in our experience.

It would be good to get a breakdown of this vs existing products. For example, I use Metabase quite heavily but I'm having trouble comparing what your product gives me in comparison to it.

Congrats on launching!
