rudder-server

We got a PR in our repo https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/pull/432 requesting us to change the master/slave terminology to main/subordinate. I really appreciate the author for bringing this issue up but somehow the main/subordinate doesn't seem right too. Wondering if people have thought about this. And if yes, what alternative terminology people have been following?

Working on RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server), an open-source segment alternative.

@soumyadeb - can't reply another level deep here. I'll create an PR in the repo. https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/pull/183 Cool project!

Ya, repo looks like SSPL too... https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/commit/db9d53a05...

GitHub: https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/ === Firstly, a big thanks to the HN community for showing us love and support in our previous HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21081756). At that point, we had just open-sourced the repo and were not fully prepared for a Show HN. We wanted to share updates since then and also do our official Show HN. Updates since Sept 2019 1. Changed the name from Rudder to RudderStack :) 2. API compatibility with Segment 3. Open-source control plane so no dependency on the hosted control plane for open-source users. (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/blob/config-gen/...) 4. Multiple hosting options: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Native. 5. ~30 integrations (https://rudderstack.com/) including cloud mode and device mode 6. Support all the popular data-warehouses & lakes - RedShi

RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server) is an open-source customer data infrastructure (a.k.a open-source alternative to Segment).

What you're describing is essentially the commons clause and it's not considered open source because it discriminates against commercial activity. The point of open source is to give everyone a shared technology base to work from, including both you and your competitors. If they're contributing then you can take their code and use it to improve your product too. You can also use your open source offering to upsell them on those additional services. This is how it's always worked. I try to illustrate this with an example: can you imagine how inconvenient it would be for your product if all those open source libraries [0] you depended on had such a condition? The reality is that the open source projects that are big today did not get big by refusing contributions from companies that were deemed to be too big or thought to be competitors. Th

Founder of RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server - open-source alternative to Segment) here. We are SSPL and this is the feedback we get all the time. I totally appreciate the sentiment around SSPL being not open-source but honestly, we don't know what is an alternative. We want to build an open-source product but also build a commercial entity around it – which means we want to stop the cloud providers from offering this as a service. We explored a couple of alternatives. AGPL does provide a similar level of protection against cloud providers – any app talking to RudderStack over an API to send events would be forced to open-source the app and hence it is almost not possible to build a SaaS service on top. But for this exact same reason, our users don’t like AGPL. AGPL is considered an absolute NO in lot of enterprise

Disclaimer: I am the founder of RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server) With our open-source data collection framework like RudderStack (an alternative to Segment), dumping data into a warehouse (Redshift/BigQuery/Druid etc) and sticking another open-source visualization layer on top (e.g. like SuperSet), it is possible to put together an alternative to Google Analytics. One of our early users did it and we wrote a blog about it https://rudderstack.com/blog/open-source-analytics/

We have been thinking about this a lot for our open-source Segment project (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/). We launched things under mongo-SSPL (which is not a OSS approved license) but we now think AGPL is probably good enough for a product like ours. AGPL should kick in for anything (e.g. mobile app) that sends events to the our AGPL-backend so needs to be open-sourced too - that should be a strong enough deterrent for anyone to offer this as a service. Is this statement true? If yes, why did Mongo with with SSPL instead of AGPL? At the same time, we still want businesses who don't care about OSS to use Rudder without having to open-source their code. To address that we are thinking of releasing our binary (and AMI images etc) under MIT license. Sure, someone can spin up a SaaS service on the binary but that's hard. Any

Congrats to Freshpaint on your launch. The product looks super-cool. Disclaimer: I am the founder of Rudder (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/), an open-source Segment alternative. We have the feature that you are asking for. We have an auto-tracking JS SDK which captures all events and dumps into S3. You can map these dom-level raw events to virtual events via a simple javascript transformation function. We also have replay so you can retroactively do the mapping and send old events to different destinations. What we don't have is the nice UI to create virtual events from the raw events, that Freshpaint has built. Looks super cool!!
