Hey HN community, We're excited to introduce Synmetrix (formerly known as MLCraft), an open-source platform designed to revolutionize the way you manage, model, and visualize metrics data at scale. Synmetrix offers a comprehensive solution for data engineering challenges, providing tools for seamless data integration, transformation, aggregation, and distribution.

Key Features:

    • Data Modeling: Define metrics and dimensions using SQL, creating a unified, semantic layer that simplifies data analysis.
    • Integration: Easily connect with various data sources, ensuring flexibility and scalability in handling data.
    • Transformation & Aggregation: Transform raw data into actionable insights with powerful aggregation capabilities.
    • Metrics Management: Centralize your metrics in one platform, making it easier to monitor and manage data across your organization.
    • Scalable Distribution: Distribute processed data to BI tools or any other consumer via a SQL API, supporting real-time analytics.

Whether you're a data engineer looking to streamline your workflow, a business analyst in need of a robust reporting framework, or a product manager seeking better insights into user behavior, Synmetrix has something to offer. We built Synmetrix to address the complexities of managing vast amounts of metrics data, making it accessible and actionable for decision-makers. Our goal is to democratize data analytics, allowing teams of all sizes to harness the power of their data.

Check out our GitHub repo here https://github.com/mlcraft-io/mlcraft and let us know what you think. We're keen to hear your feedback and looking forward to seeing how you'll use Synmetrix to empower your data-driven projects!

Happy data engineering!

I'm trying to make this live too here: https://github.com/cloudytool/cloudy. My idea is to give a user cloud-specific javascript templates with a production-ready cluster infrastructure. Looking for contributors :)

Hi Mike!

We've integrated Hasura GraphQL engine and published MLCraft Stack docker image which is simplifying the installation process + some bugfixes

Hi! Yeah, you could use it as a simple business intelligence, we use Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega-lite) to create visualizations and it's kind of can visualize anything

Hi Michael,

> One thing I’m not sure about though: can you use the metrics outside of the native tool, and if so how?

Cube.js is an open-source analytics framework so you could use it without MLCraft, of course.

> Is this both? If so, some better documentation around how to use the metrics layer would be helpful (or maybe I just didn’t look in the right place).

Yeah, we provide a tool and bunch of must-have features for the metrics store, but the query layer is still cube.js

> some better documentation around how to use the metrics layer would be helpful

we're working on the documentation and it will be published soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the reply! Ivan

thanks for the feedback :)

let me know if you have any questions
