Stack Overflow Monitoring
TrendsTrack technology adoption trends from public data — no vendor opinions required.
A data pipeline that joins Stack Overflow's public data dump, the annual Developer Survey, PyPI download stats, and the dbt Hub registry to produce reproducible signals on what engineers actually use, want, and regret.
The flagship output is the Hype Gap report: a ranked table sorted by the delta between "want to learn" and "used professionally" responses. Positive gaps surface tools engineers want that companies have not adopted. Negative gaps — the regret index — surface tools in wide production use that nobody would choose again.
- No paid APIs — all four sources are public and free
- Hype Gap: ranked delta between "want to learn" and "used professionally" per technology
- Regret index surfaces tools that are common in production but low in demand
- PyPI and dbt signals cross-check survey sentiment against actual download growth
- CSV, Markdown, and JSON output — pipes cleanly into any downstream analysis
