Resources and insights

Prisma turned to Scarf for a monthly Strategic Insights Report. By integrating Scarf into various parts of their web and software delivery infrastructure, Prisma now knows relevant details about their users in terms of company size, industry, location and much more.

This playbook will walk you through setting up Scarf to get a clearer picture of how people are interacting with your open-source project. You’ll learn how to create and use Scarf Pixels, track open source project documentation views, measure engagement across social media, and more.

CopilotKit implemented Scarf to gain visibility into their open-source community. By adding Scarf to their documentation, they could see which companies were actively engaging with their resources, providing valuable insights into potential leads and customer segments.

Tracking downloads of your open-source projects is key to understanding user engagement. With Scarf, you can see which businesses are using your project, which versions are popular, which platforms are being targeted, and more. This playbook will show you how to set up Scarf to monitor your project’s downloads.

On July 16th, we hosted our first-ever Scarf Summit, celebrating analytics for open source and the significant improvements we’ve made to the Scarf platform. In case you missed it, here’s a recap of all the key updates shared by our Engineering Leader, Aaron Porter.

In this episode of the Haskell Interlude Podcast, Joachim Breitner and Andreas Löh sit down with Avi Press, the founder of Scarf, to discuss his journey with Haskell, the telemetry landscape in open source software, and the technical as well as operational challenges of building a startup with Haskell at its core.

Scarf Basic and Premium tiers have long had the ability to sort their open source usage data by company, domain, events, last seen, and funnel stage. But our customers have been wanting more. Now you can hyper target by combining region, tech stack, and funnel stage, making outreach as refined and low friction as possible. 

Understanding open source user engagements and usage is obscured by a lack of actionable data, a result of its inherent openness and anonymity. Embracing a data-driven approach to open source projects helps them not only grow, but also understand the keys to their success, benefiting everyone involved.
