The reason behind selling the project is that our team decided to split up and angel investors need their money back. Nobody does marketing now and I began to work on other initiatives.
You don't have an investor, you have a creditor (might I say: a loanshark). Investing means there's risk of not getting your money back, loaning means you get your money back no matter what.
You liquidate the company, and the investors get what they get. They're not going to get their money back. I'd be blown away if you got a few thousand for it.
on the one hand you are totally right. on the other hand there are many companies trying to implement their BI solutions from scratch, this foundation could be a good fit for them. anyway, thanks for your feedback, I highly appreciate it.
this is very reasonable in terms of flippa and other tools. in terms of 3 different languages - each is good in its own way. i would agree that rails could be totally replaced with node. but overall picking the right tool for each specific problem allows to move faster. you probably know how many languages are used at the backend of github, google, twitter etc.
It depends on your knowledge of these tools. But you seem to be a wise guy. So I would say you are totally right, since I don't want to waste my time arguing.

Also, this might work better on Flippa.
And, finally, there are a ton of tools that do this exact same thing, and many are mature and widely used. What's new about this?
For $50,000, I could get an enterprise account with an established marketing analytics firm for 6 months to a few years, depending on the provider.
Context switching is very costly. So is having to configure, support, and debug 3 different environments.
I understand using Node for realtime/async services, but using both Python and Ruby makes no sense.
