As the Umami is made using NextJS, it will be a better option to host it on vercel. So, we are going to host the umami web app on vercel. Navigate to vercel.com, after registering/login then click on Add new… then Project. In the Import Git Repository page, click on the option where you have pushed the code. Then it might ask you for permission to access the repository, provide that. After this, you will have your repository, select the one where you have pushed the code.

Google Analytics is a fantastic tool to know your traffic but it’s better for non-developer people to add analytics. Umami is a self-hosted web analytics solution that is open-source and privacy-focused. You can customize the database and hosting as per your need. The feature that impresses me is that with one click you can get a shareable link to the analytics for sharing. That’s why Hashnode uses Umami to provide article analytics to users. A solid reason to at least give it a try.

We need to have a database to store user and analytics details. Umami supports SQL and PostgreSQL for databases. We are not going to use any local database, we are going to use PostgreSQL from the supabase. It provides an all-in-one solution to the backend having support for Database, Authentication, instant APIs, Edge Functions, Realtime subscriptions, and Storage.

Git: It is a distributed version control system. This will help fork the Umami repository and push code to GitHub for deployment on Vercel.
