I can see why this might be fun to work on, but as a user, why would I want to learn a logic language when I could just write the SQL myself?

Re:Launch HN: Lago (YC S21) – Open-source usage-based billing

That's a fair question!
To be honest, it was a no brainer choice for us since we were 2 engineers at the beginning with 10y exp on Ruby, we wanted to be focused on our product and not on the tech we could use.
Ruby ecosystem is still a very good choice imo, as Python or NodeJS or any other language could also be!
I have the strong opinion that regardless the language you use, you will always face the same problems, so go with what you're familiar with and let's focus on what you want to do. I can swear that we had some headaches about our core billings features, if we had a tech we did not master, we may have lose all our hairs!
The only downside I can see is recruitment, it can be harder to find experienced ruby developers, but well, if it's the only one we have, I'm pretty happy with it!

Hey @haolez, yes the main repo contains all the docker configurations and 2 subsmodules, so you just have to clone this one and have Lago up in 2 minutes if you want to try it out!
Our api uses Ruby On Rails and our front end is build with React!
