Today, we're excited to announce that Briefer has been acquired by Resend!
Briefer's team will join Resend to help them scale their data infrastructure for handling the next billions of emails.
When we started Briefer, our mission was to make working with data fast, intuitive, and programmable. We built Briefer as an open-source workspace that combined SQL, Python, and AI in a way that made it easy to work with large volumes of data and in which exploration felt natural (and much more productive).
Over the past year, Briefer has processed terabytes of data across thousands of environments, earning over 4,000 GitHub stars and supporting amazing teams at public companies like VTEX, and high-growth startups like Whop and Incognia.
We’ve also been longtime Resend customers ourselves. From the very beginning, all of Briefer’s email infrastructure ran on Resend. Whenever you got a Briefer report or notification in your inbox, that email was sent via Resend.
Now, we're excited to bring our expertise in processing data at a large scale and operating high-performance, distributed systems to Resend.
What will happen to Briefer
Briefer will continue to support existing users until the November 5th, and new sign-ups will be disabled.
After that, we will open-source Briefer's entire codebase, including the code for our existing Enterprise offering. That means you can continue self-hosting Briefer for free if you want.
How to transition from Briefer
We suggest the following platforms as potential alternatives:
For users running self-hosted versions of Briefer, open-source options such as Jupyter Lab and Marimo are worth considering.
Among these, Hex and Deepnote come closest to replicating Briefer's experience.
Thank you.
To every team and developer who trusted Briefer: thank you.
Building alongside you has been the greatest part of this journey.
We’re incredibly proud of what we built and extremely excited to help Resend build what’s next.
