Gerard Clos for Latitude

After 10 years of building B2B SaaS, going open-source has been a breath of fresh air

My name is Gerard and I’m the technical founder of Latitude.

I’ve spent the last 10 years of my career building B2B SaaS behind doors. And recently I’ve been working on rebooting Latitude as an open-source solution with my co-founder César.

What I love about building this way is that I have more in common with our dev audience, I’m getting immediate feedback, people are offering to contribute (!), and I can discuss tech details directly with customers.

It feels like you are building the product together with them, rather than for them.

Latitude is a free open-source framework for embedded analytics. Basically, you can:

  • Create API endpoints on top of your database/warehouse using just SQL.
  • Embed interactive visualizations natively in your favorite frontend framework or through an iframe.
  • Deploy with a single command.
  • Go from 0 to embedded analytics in minutes.

Today we are launching on Product Hunt!

If you like it, I would greatly appreciate an upvote from y'all 🙏

Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts and I’m also looking for contributors!

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
