Keen

"Our goal from day one has been to build a community around open source and measure it, so we can better contribute to the sector. But what we discovered pretty quickly - and what many other community managers, developer evangelists, and advocates agreed with - is that measurement of a community is really, really hard to do."

“Initially, we just wanted to be able to shoot some events and log in and start slicing the data. On top of that, I needed something flexible enough that could evolve quickly alongside our product.”

“The implementation was pretty straightforward. Keen’s Ruby gem library made accessing end points a lot easier, and we didn’t have to write them, just access. We ended up writing a wrapper around it to wrap the calls, because we make them in a few places. When we first started using Keen, there was no dashboard or query explorer, and when that came out we found it useful to prototype queries directly in the browser instead of having to write and see if it would work.”
