Trifle - Open-source time-series analytics storing answers not events
Show HN: Trifle – Open-source analytics that stores answers, not events
Trifle is an open-source time-series analytics solution designed to simplify tracking by storing pre-calculated answers instead of raw events. It integrates seamlessly with your existing database to monitor counters, revenue, and hierarchical data across Ruby, Elixir, and Go. With a unified API for use cases ranging from background worker monitoring to AI agent analytics, Trifle eliminates complex infrastructure. Developers can track metrics in a single call, visualize them via the Trifle App, and leverage built-in Agent Skills for tools like Claude Code and Cursor, ensuring instant visibility into critical business and technical performance.
With Trifle, we went from zero visibility into our pricing pipeline to catching anomalies before customers notice. The combination of Stats and Traces gives us both the big picture and the ability to drill into individual job executions.

How is this different fro Prometheus and its associated time series db? that looks like exactly how prom works, give or take. (and some of the negatives around stats that come with it, e.g. p95 calculation)

A billion events is only ~4GB on disk. With disk so cheap (even now), why throw that away immediately instead of at least waiting 30 days, 1 year, etc. until you know you have your analysis right?
