Description
Another technical episode; this time about our realtime analytics forwarder/proxy written in Rust.Podcast creators want realtime data about the performance of each episode. The big platforms usually only provide aggregated data with some delay whereas the hosting platforms like Podbeans or Redcircle store the data in proprietary formats that oftentimes can’t be exported or gets filtered and put behind paywalls through pro-accounts.In contrast, our proxy works with any major platform and stores the data in a machine-readable format that can easily be exported. It is written in Rust and runs as an edge-worker on Cloudflare Workers, but it can also be run on a standalone server.We’ll talk about the architecture of the component and the tradeoffs we made while building it.
