Current projects include:

  • App Engagement: a conversion dataset used by marketers, mobile developers or product teams to analyze funnel steps
  • Cost Monitoring: based off of Rill's own internal dashboards, cloud infrastructure data (compute, storage, pipeline statistics, etc.) merged with customer data to analyze bottlenecks and look for efficiencies
  • GitHub Analytics: analyze GitHub activity to understand what parts of your codebase are most active, analyze contributor productivity, and evaluate the intersections between commits and files
  • Programmatic Ads/OpenRTB: bidstream data for programmtic advertisers to optimize pricing strategies, look for inventory opportunities, and improve campaign performance
  • Final Tutorial Project: A finalized version of the tutorial project with many working examples, a good place to reference any newer features, updated regularly.

Installing Examples​

You can install rill using our installation script:

curl https://rill.sh | sh

To run an example (in this case our Programmatic/OpenRTB dataset):

git clone https://github.com/rilldata/rill-examples.git
cd rill-examples/rill-openrtb-prog-ads
rill start

Rill will build your project from data sources to dashboard and then launch in a new browser window.
