Cookie-based tracking is dead

1. Ahoy

   1 18 4,310 7.3 Ruby

   Simple, powerful, first-party analytics for Rails

   

   I did server-side tracking test in a rails app, where I implemented a tracking gem called ahoy and blazer for visualization. It is very easy to set up, but a bit hard to use. Blazer can do a very basic visualization of the data if you know your SQL queries.

2. Judoscale

   judoscale.com featured

   Save 47% on cloud hosting with autoscaling that just works. Judoscale integrates with Rails, Sidekiq, Solid Queue, and more to make autoscaling easy and reliable. Save big, and say goodbye to request timeouts and backed-up job queues.

   

3. Snowplow

   2 21 6,915 3.6 Scala

   The leader in Next-Generation Customer Data Infrastructure

   

   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.

   Simple, open source, lightweight (< 1 KB) and privacy-friendly web analytics alternative to Google Analytics.

   

   Plausible : https://plausible.io/ - I heard about them in the, the craft of open source podcast epsiode #2. Netlify analytics for my jam stack sites: https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics/ - I love Netlify, it's awesome. So far I 'v only used it for small hobby project sites, but I want to take a deeper dive where I investigate their analytics too.
