Comment on Show HN: Octo.ai, Open source analytics hypervisor

Comments

> What we figured was the biggest problem with any form of machine learning or data based system is that we require high quality historic data. When a company starts the heavy dependance on free/freemium analytics services it means that all that data is usually lost for good. [...]

At the risk of shamelessly promoting our (also open-source) product: We also didn't like the fact that all commercial event analytics tools were completely proprietary and would effectively be closed data silos, so we recently released the open source EventQL event analytics database [1]. Maybe it would be an interesting target to support in octo.ai?

It does sound like a great target to support! Okay to get in touch with you when we start on this?

Thanks for having a look!

How are Snowplow and Piwik completely proprietary?

I'm not familiar with Snowplow, but why would you put Piwik in the same category as Octo?
