I agree here--we've never had any availability problems like this, and using Segment has been delightful.
I think judging a 6-year old startup based on what its product was one year into the company is rather unreasonable. To put this into perspective, 80% of the company's lifespan has occurred after the grandparent's negative experience. Things change dramatically in that period of time.
Segment is one of my favorite products, and I consider it a core part of our stack. It's enabled us to be leaps and bounds ahead of other companies our size as far as analytics tracking, distribution, analysis in our warehouse, and more. We use pretty much every piece of it--even the esoteric options like their embedded pixel API. It's such a core part of my day that I sometimes actually spend time daydreaming about new features I'd add to the product rather than actually doing my job :)
All I need now is for them to add the ability to push my events in real time to my Kafka cluster. (Please add that!)
I'm not a Segment user, but my understanding is that it allows you to track events via a single API, and then push those events to lots of other services. So instead of needing to have js script tags/tracking codes/event calls for Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Optimizely, etc. etc., you just send your events to Segment, and Segment sends them on to wherever you want.
Congrats! LogDNA is one of my favorite products. We're likely moving to Kubernetes shortly and were actually worried about logging, so this makes my life a lot easier
