Scale & Complexity 

Mixpanel is powered by a custom distributed database. This system ingests more than 1 Trillion user-generated events every month while ensuring end-to-end latencies of under a minute and queries typically scan more than 1 Quadrillion events over the span of a month.

Our Stack

Across the layers of our stack we write code in Go, TypeScript, Python, and C/C . We build on battle-tested frameworks and technologies including Django, MySQL, Redis, Celery, Web Components, React, Kafka, and Spanner. We place a lot of value on automation and good operational hygiene, relying on best-in-class tooling like Kubernetes (on Google Kubernetes Engine), GitHub Actions, and Argo/ArgoCD to let our developers focus on building, not firefighting.
