It was fun to present it in demos, but it can also be annoying to users.
I was pleasantly surprised to see him driving and trying to charge the car in public locations.
I am previously the founder of a synthetic monitoring startup, devraven.io.
Just sharing my experience - monitoring is brutally competitive. From my conversations most large enterprises have very little synthetic monitoring, they use DDOG or other APM tools and do not want to try any new tools for few thousand dollar savings. And in a lot of cases they are comfortable with their custom test frameworks that use Selenium. Some are even worried that setting up synthetic monitoring will bring down their environment or trash their database with junk data ::sigh::
Most smaller companies we spoke to are not mature enough to have monitoring and did not have resources who can setup monitoring. They used to ask us for help to build tests for them. Asks for discounts on $29.99/mo price point were not uncommon.
After few months of operating the product, we did find few angels who were interested in investing in us (not the product). But in the end, we did not feel that we can make good use of investor money and provide a decent return to them, so we ended up backing out of the investment and chose to shutdown the product.
Fair feedback. I definitely need to anchor myself to specific niche instead of saying it can work for anything and everything.
But the APIs are accessible today with basic auth.
1. Create a Source for each customer and send customer specific data to each source. Configured pipelines for each source will receive the event data and processes it.
2. Create one source with multiple pipelines connected to it. In each pipeline, you can drop processing the data based on any conditions.
#1 is preferred so you are sure each customer's data is only reaching the pipelines configured for that customer data.
A ServiceNow integration is on my radar. But if you can provide more details I can definitely try to address it when I build the app. Please feel free to log an issue in github if you can provide any details or send an email to me (email in my profile).
Something like - if x or x% events are failing in a pipeline, pause the pipeline for y minutes or until some one unpauses it.
I can look at adding it.
It's about 3 months in the making and needs improvements around ops, tests. I am hoping to make progress with adding tests in the coming days and provide monitoring capabilities.
I think there are a number of platforms for building workflows and integrations today. Some of the platforms serving specific niche (e.g. RudderStack chose to serve CDP, airplane for building internal dev tools). But in the end all of them act on a trigger to transform inbound event data and send it to a destination end point.
Windmill looks cool with support for multiple languages, no-code editor and all the OOTB integrations.
cptn is still evolving - it needs to have more integrations, UX flows need to be improved, it has to get better from Ops perspective.
Licensing "seems" to be restrictive if you want to use for commercial purposes (I am not quite sure about Sustainable Use License).
The sensitivity to prompts and response quality are related to an agent's functionality, A2A is only addressing the communication aspects between agents and not the content within.
