yesterday I did it! I upgraded Vemetric's main analytics database (Clickhouse) to the latest version after letting it slip for a longer time now I'm already feeling so much more confident doing such upgrades and migrations in production with zero downtime .. feels great :)

Vemetric itself might not have a lot of daily users / visitors yet (around 150) .. but my users have! so itβs important to setup a proper and scalable infrastructure right from the start, so I can handle my usersβ traffic without a problem πͺ

I'm currently spending a lot of time and effort on DevOps topics for Vemetric on one side because it was necessary (e.g. memory leak, bloated docker images, ..), but also because I soon want to offer a proper self-hosted version for Vemetric, which should build upon a clean base 1/2

thereβs still no way around MCP when you want to integrate your product into ChatGPT and Claude right? Iβm currently building the AI integration layer, this week I released the Rest API, now Iβm working on the CLI .. and this weeks discussions made me think again: do I really need a MCP server?

I've used one Codex chat for over 3 weeks to create the Vemetric API I really enjoy these long-running chats about one topic, so I can get as much value from the existing context as possible Codex does a good job there with auto-compaction as well!
