I’d contend having user behaviour logged directly into your monolithic app db using the ahoy gem instead of some external grafana/etc system is much more powerful because then you can point an agent at a copy of your database and it can wire together all of your operational and business metrics at the same time without having to try and say, connect a user profile between grafana/salesforce/hubspot/intercom etc. eg. “Claude, tell me which customers activate and convert and which churn and why and make a plan to optimise the funnel”. Hooking that up has never been easier https://insidertrades.directory/built-with-rails/ahoy-blazer... ie. build, don’t buy in the age of AI
