Description
Most tools watch a table for new rows (Zapier, n8n) or sync columns (reverse ETL). Rowfire fires on any SQL query you write: joins, aggregates, even what didn't happen, like "trial ends in 3 days, never activated". What stands out: "once per customer per week" is a setting, not code; every rule is backtested against history and run in shadow mode before it sends; and it's read-only and open source. Postgres/MySQL to Slack, Zendesk, Braze or any API, with no engineering ticket.

Could you build this?
Partial A simple scheduled query runner is straightforward, but a production engine that diffs complex SQL queries (joins, aggregations, anti-joins) across arbitrary customer databases without crashing production systems requires serious database engineering.
What it would actually take: The system needs a scalable distributed polling/CDC engine (using Kafka/Temporal and stateful snapshot diffing) that reliably handles high-volume query executions against external databases without excessive load. Key challenges include maintaining state across temporal queries, enforcing idempotent alert throttling ('once per customer per week'), and securely managing read replicas across diverse SQL dialects.
