Tool for extracting Google Analytics data suitable for migrating to other platforms/databases

SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
There's also no need to be scared of self-hosting the analytics engine yourself. Many of the open-source solutions can be spun up in matter of minutes and require very little resources to run. Even data migration can be quite simple as you've seen earlier in this article. If that's the route you want to go, but the extractor tool presented here doesn't support the target platform you'd like to migrate to, or you have some feedback to share, then feel free to create and an issue in GitHub repository and I will definitely try to help out.
The solution that "kills two birds with one stone" is to choose a privacy-friendly platform where you won't need to worry about GDPR rules and extract and move your data from GA to said platform, taking full ownership of your data and not having to worry about Google deprecating things whenever they please (which is very often).
