1632629 - Consider dropping Focus events from Amplitude

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

We are sending a greater-than-expected number of events to Amplitude and are looking to cut back. Vesta, Ashley, do either of you use the Focus events in Amplitude? Can we remove that project?

Hi Frank, we're due to investigate next steps on Focus. There's more interest in keeping Focus around, so I'm hesitant to turn these events off and lose the historical data if we come back to it. I'm not actively looking in Amplitude right now though

Hey Ashley, thanks for following up. Just to be clear, there's never any losing historical events when we stop sending to Amplitude; we can always pick back up where we left off if you need them. In general if you're not using Amplitude day-to-day right now, I might recommend we stop sending so that we can reduce our Amplitude usage. If you have a specific need that comes up for Focus I can certainly help you make a query for it.

Does that sound acceptable to you?
