Clickhouse has got a lot better in limited memory environments. They now recommend 4GB minimum. The production environment that crashed due to Clickhouse OOM was our hosted product a while ago :) After that, we haven't had any downtime

Plausible founder here. There's nothing automatic but you can track your campaigns with utm_campaigns manually. Google has made sure that analytics for Google Ads works best within their own walled garden. Same with Facebook and Twitte

We decided to create a donation fund to support open-source projects that we depend on last year[1]. We rely heavily on PostgreSQL and so just today I was trying to find the best way to contribute to the development of Postgres. I didn&#x27

Disclaimer: Plausible Analytics founder here I think Matomo is quite similar to Google Analytics which many people feel is bloated and confusing from the user's perspective. The idea with Plausible is to simplify web analytics and make

Thank you! I'm the maintainer of the project and it's so heartwarming to see it being recommended on this forum. All the projects mentioned here are great. What I think sets Plausible apart is that we've managed to create a p

Plausible developer here. Interesting you say that. There's no reason Plausible could not be used like AWStats. Parsing logs is just a different ingestion mechanism and we already provide self-hosting via Docker. On principle it wouldn

Nice post, Bradley. I think you might be the first one doing A/B testing with Plausible :) Just a heads up, I think registering a plausible event in the `onclick` handler could introduce a race condition. If the page navigates and unlo

Fair enough. BSL is technically not open source but it is endorsed by Bruce Perens of the Open Source Initiative and I believe it is a very good license for new startups in this space. https://itsfoss.com/making-the-business

This is how I understand GDPR as well. Just hashing the IP address along with other static values is too easy to reverse and not considered anonymization under GDPR. For https://plausible.io we added a daily salt to the hash for

Thanks for clearing this up. The general data points and metrics we store are not personal data . IP address is the only piece of data that we touch that is considered PII under some regulations including GDPR. The IP address is fully anon

Plausible developer here. We don't show the number sessions/visits at the moment. Most seem happy with the 'unique visitors' number and we don't want to add extra data to the UI unless it's truly useful.

It's possible but not officially supported. You would have to install all the dependencies on your machine and build the mix release yourself.

More accurate would be that we use the site_id in the hash. You can serve your website from many different domains but as long as the site_id in your script tag is the same, the hash remains the same. The site id is included in the hash to
