      Do you think working on startup like this needs more experience or hands-on knowledge (i mean if you are just fresher then working under company which has more employees can teach you more but startup like this you have to learn by yourself alot)
      What’s your thoughts?

    It was quite a journey for InterviewReady! Thank you for going live and interacting. I am a pre-final year student and your channel has helped me a lot with DSA. I might go ahead and buy InterviewReady for final year interviews (though it would be an overkill).
    But you deserve the support and more for putting out such great content!

    Hey Gaurav, I have been following you for a while now and I love your energy levels, clarity on teaching and explaining concepts. The fact that you are being transparent about interviewReady design process speaks volumes. Consider me sold on the course. Keep at it! Kudos.

    For analytics, you can just create a simple angular frontend on top of SQL . U can add data aggregate queries . You can also look for Dgraph if u want a lot of relations in your data . Dgraph is open source .
    Also, would u care to have some part of your project as open source like analytics frontend - backend . We will try to make something for u ...as a gift

    • @gkcs
      @gkcs  3 года назад +3

      Making parts of it open source is definitely what we'd like. But we have to reach some stability before we can do that :D

    • @srirangsathyan3972
      @srirangsathyan3972 3 года назад

      I was gonna comment something similar, rather than investing on your own frontend you could look at using open source visualization tools like grafana which let you select ur sql datasource and directly set views there.
      For sales analytics there are specific tools such as hubspot that u can look at.

    I'm just curious to know how much approx. money is spent each month in running this platform infrastructure excluding developer costs? It would be great if you create a general video on the expenses that occurred for you while developing this platform.

    • @gkcs
      @gkcs  3 года назад +10

      AWS. Approximately costs us $700. Thinkific cost us much lesser at around $350.

      1. Move to a self managed Postgres instance on EC2. And automate backups.
      2. Start using reserved instances. (InterviewReady is going to be around for more than a year I guess). We could reserve an instance for 1-3 years.
      3. If we scale, moving to Spot Instances for extra servers.
