Any Google Analytics Alternatives?
I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.

Open-source data collection & modeling platform for product analytics
We’ve also thought about Ops :-). There’s a backend 'Collector' that stores data in Postgres, for instance to use while developing locally, or if you want to get set up quickly. But there’s also full integration with Snowplow, which works seamlessly with an existing Snowplow setup as well.

What are the different ways to collect large amounts of data, like millions of rows?
Sure thing! Say you run an online store. Your source systems could be the inventory, orders or customer databases. You could also track click/site behavior with something like snowplow. An ERP system is essentially just a combination of what I mentioned previously. Another good example is a CRM such as Salesforce or Zendesk. Hopefully that helps!

What companies/startups are using Scala (open source projects on github)?
There are so many of them in big data, e.g. Kafka, Spark, Flink, Delta, Snowplow, Finagle, Deequ, CMAK, OpenWhisk, Snowflake, TheHive, TVM-VTA, etc.

We should start looking for google analytics alternatives
I added Snowplow Analytics to a site with a lot of traffic. It was a very basic implementation, where data is collected with Snowplow, stored in google big query, and visualized in google data studio. The data is collected from the caching/web server combined with a client-side tracker.

The Big Data Game – Because even a simple query can send you on an unexpected journey. Help the 8-bit data engineer to get the data
Well if you have to structure and create Schema and manage Data Warehouses, you need a tool to do that, so in the background you see SnowPlow, which helps you do just that. Make the data into some kind of sensible structure so that later on business analysts can come see whats up. Want to do a quarterly report on how you performed, go to the application that goes to the data warehouse and builds your report for you. Want to compare to other similar companies in the portfolio to see how they are performing, same story. Data scientists will build and structure the data and store it and manipulate it and extract the value from it so that the analysts and sales people can then come in and do some selling. Show the customers what they got for their money and guarantee the renewal.

Reference Data Stack for Data-Driven Startups
We also have telemetry set up on our Monosi product which is collected through Snowplow,. As with Airbyte, we chose Snowplow because of its open source offering and because of their scalable event ingestion framework. There are other open source options to consider including Jitsu and RudderStack or closed source options like Segment. Since we started building our product with just a CLI offering, we didn’t need a full CDP solution so we chose Snowplow.

That's the only full featured open source competitor I am aware of, so it should be mentioned.

Somewhat FOSS. There was a story there, but I don't remember the details.

Cookie-based tracking is dead
I added Snowplow Analytics to a site with a lot of traffic. It was a very basic implementation, where data is collected with Snowplow, stored in google big query, and visualized in google data studio. The data is collected from the caching/web server combined with a 1st part cookie set in the user's browser.
