    Congratulations to everyone involved, quite remarkable considering Langfuse was only founded as part of YC 23.

    Ah, the painful migration to Clickhouse from v2 to v3 makes sense now https://langfuse.com/self-hosting/upgrade/upgrade-guides/upg...

    I predict it will be Pydantic next to get picked up by someone for logfire and agent framework.... fine as long as all these open source projects stay open source then good for them

    Does this mean Langfuse will now have better ClickHouse integration?

    every single day there is an acquisition on here. what's going on in the macro?

    the "Prompt Management" part of these products always seemed odd. Does anyone use it? Why?
    • dandelionv1besan hour ago
      I do understand why it’s a product - it feels a bit like what databricks has with model artifacts. Ie having a repo of prompts so you can track performance changes against is good. Especially if say you have users other than engineers touching them (ie product manager wants to AB).

      Having said that, I struggled a lot with actually implementing langfuse due to numerous bugs/confusing AI driven documentation. So I’m amazed that it’s being bought to be really frank. I was just on the free version in order to look at it and make a broader recommendation, I wasn’t particularly impressed. Mileage may vary though, perhaps it’s a me issue.

        I thought the docs were pretty good just going through them to see what the product was. For me I just don't see the use-case but I'm not well versed in their industry.
        • dandelionv1bes39 minutes ago
          I think the docs are great to read, but implementing was a completely different story for me, ie, the Ask AI recommended solution for implementing Claude just didn’t work for me.

          They do have GitHub discussions where you can raise things, but I also encountered some issues with installation that just made me want to roll the dice on another provider.

          They do have a new release coming in a few weeks so I’ll try it again then for sure.

          Edit: I think I’m coming across as negative and do want to recommend that it is worth trying out langfuse for sure if you’re looking at observability!

    Clickhouse needs observability models to be more useful to agent run infra
