Wow epic comment.

Serious question though, why post hog & metabase? Dont they overlap?

Sort of. They're capable of analytics, but Metabase is a Business Intelligence tool, and Posthog is focused on user interaction/website analytics.

They both give you incredibly useful data, but different kinds. Metabase lets you analyze trends/relationships in your overall database-layer data. Posthog lets you analyze how users are interacting with your website/app and where your traffic is coming from.

It's like Tableau vs Mixpanel/Amplitude.

Not my comment, just one I found exceptionally useful for the Hasura piece.
