Is it too much to ask for a not-vibe-coded billing system? In my opinion, we need better systems to hold these companies accountable as I don't believe the $20/dispute they're paying means much given how common other customers are complaining about billing irregularities just in this thread alone.

Would an accurate comparison be something like perspective? (https://perspective.finos.org/)

Is the focus on density around performance, visualization, or something else?

I was curious to see if there was a video of it being done and this seems to be it. Incredibly delicate is an understatement.

OP's ask was: "Is this another one ... where open source is used more as a marketing gimmick"

My original comment wasn't intended to indicate that there is an obligation to provide support. The deliberate choice to: a) not offer paid support for open-source deployments, and b) sunsetting the Kubernetes deployments in favor of their cloud version, is a signal that shows PostHog doesn't /really/ want you to be running the software in a self-hosted manner.

Just look at the "Open-source hobby deploy" (from the README in git) which calls out that it "should scale to approximately 100k events per month" but their cloud offering gives you 1 million events per month for free. What is the point of the hobby "deploy"?

Back to OP -- my answer is yes, this is a source-available service that you can modify and play around with locally. The source and documentation behind the operations of PostHog aren't available.

Fairly accurate, you can only get support if you're using their cloud product.

"We no longer support paid, open-source deployments and it is no longer possible to buy licenses for self-hosted versions - we instead recommend migrating to PostHog Cloud." - from: https://posthog.com/docs/self-host

What a wild story...it's crazy to think that we have 1080p emulator video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EufWGcflwjQ) without having the underlying rom ever ending up on the internet.
