Congratulations on launch. We , Urbancompany.com, have launched similar services (and more services like plumbers, technicians as well) in India around 6 years back and few countries in Asia. Customer response has been really positive.
Ohhh Urbancompany.com we know about you guys! Great work! Is it true that your main services are beauty and wellness? I will love to talk to you to share notes.
Yep. With Plucker, I could download the New York Times web site (I think via RSS) before I went to work, sync it to my Palm Pilot, and then read it on my lunch.
Many, many years ago, I used a custom build of Plucker to build an offline reader for the schedule of a large conference in the UK - to the point of rebuilding the schduule file daily to include updates, and using an old laptop with an irda port running pilot-link in a loop to sync the new schedule to anyone who wanted it... That was fun.
No, we mainly focus on data modeling on top of a warehouse and deep analyses. Our customers are often data analysts, data scientists, or engineers.
That being said we would love to partner with a CDP like mixpanel and amplitude to have marketers and product people get quick insights using the data that is modeled and cleaned by the data team.
It is somewhat typical for certain activities to "feed into" multiple high-level goals or needs. Trees can't express that, so you get into activity categorization problem. Trivial example: are you cycling your way to work because it contributes to your health, is fun or because it enables you to do your job duties? Obviously it's all of that. None of that matters until you try to introduce some "time budget" for different spheres of your life, and with the tree concept you realize that the results don't make much sense.
I can guess that following pattern will emerge
"Develop like microservice but deploy like a monolith"
So a container will have group of services rather than hosting single service. Similar will be happen for databases where different databases will on same host.
Well, today it is fairly dependent on postgres, but we can add more SQL backends eventually. We also leverage some neat Postgres performance tricks which would have to change depending on the database.
Do you have a database in mind?
Hasura is structured as a compiler that takes GraphQL queries, adds access control rules configured by the user and then generates a SQL query. Adding more SQL backends is supporting more SQL dialects.
