Counterscale and the New Self-Hosted
Back in January I launched an open source product. It’s called Counterscale, and it’s a web analytics service to help you understand your website traffic.
This snippet records basic information about the website visitor, like the timestamp they visited, their browser name, operating system, etc., and transmits that data over HTTPS to the same Worker’s reporting endpoint (NOTE: it does not use cookies or store any IPs) While I think it’s operationally sound – I haven’t had a hiccup since January, even with intentional load testing – I don’t know that it should be used for anything besides hobby projects, personal blogs, or indie marketing websites. And now you can interop with a single black box cloud service that manages a queueing system and columnar database, with writes taking place at the edge (via Workers), and later retrieval from via SQL.
