cannot discern internal gitpod usage from external gitpod usage #551

Open leeederek opened 1 year ago

leeederek commented 1 year ago

Background & motivation

Currently, our product analytics pipelines do not distinguish between internal and external gitpod usage.

Desired behaviour

There should be a way to determine the identity of the user when they use Gitpod because it requires auth through github. We should then be able to filter out internal users from external ones.

How important is this to you?

Painful; the lack of this feature makes using Kurtosis frictionful.

GITPOD_GIT_USER_EMAIL on GitPod should give you the users email

We can pass that as an arg to the GitPod.yml https://github.com/kurtosis-tech/quickstart-gitpod/blob/main/.gitpod.yml#L8

We should still hash the args that get sent to segment

We can then plot tables of fake package, the user id of GitPod & different emails run to see how many people outside KT are using it
