Is Tableau Dead?
I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.
https://github.com/ankane/blazer
No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

BI vs custom queries in app
As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved.

I'd also highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects.

Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics
I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

Sqids – Generate Short Unique IDs from Numbers
On a side note, "Sqids ... is an open-source library that lets you generate YouTube-looking IDs from numbers.", "The main use of Sqids is purely visual."
If the purpose of it is to give a friendlier url / id, who not use something like friendly_id instead? (http://norman.github.io/friendly_id).
The url is readable and searchable through the history.
I would much rather prefer people using "www.website.com/channel/video/a-dog-walking" instead of "www.website.com/channel/video/3cXv8c".
