Thanks. For a CTO, he is extremely active in the community. Only the ClickHouse robot is on par with his engagement. I'll reach out to him to see if ClickHouse is a viable option as my plan is to replace GitHub's insights tab with a useful dashboard (this is why DevBoard has such an minimal look), so I'll need a very performant DB that can work with my queries.
We are lucky to have him. It also helps that he was the founding engineer on the product.
Also, feel free to hit us up in GH (or we have a Slack). ClickHouse is used for a number of dashboarding implementations. It should work...but, as always, proof is in the testing.
Good luck! (and OMG, a better insights tab would make me a happy human)
