We didn't catch it for days. That experience pushed me to build Rawbbit — an open-source, Apache 2.0, self-hosted analytics pipeline that lands raw events as Parquet in your own object storage. This is the story of why hosted analytics fails at scale, why I chose NATS + Parquet + BigQuery external tables, and what I deliberately left out.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8VxAgS1Ll3FJEERcAdhFdqqXJMnE7OfD2RUvrjauLt0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMjY4LzE2ODM1/ODI1ODUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
