• Is Tableau Dead?

  I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer. https://github.com/ankane/blazer No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• BI vs custom queries in app

  As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved. Source: 10 months ago

• Evidence – Business Intelligence as Code

  And it's Open Source: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics

  I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Using Scientist to Refactor Critical Ruby on Rails Code

  The Blazer gem provides a nice way to analyze the results easily. It is simple to install and allows SQL queries to run against tables. The query here shows that the candidate implementation is significantly faster than the original. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• You don't need analytics on your blog

  If one wants server-side metrics with a little more info than the author's "hacky little script", there's always goaccess [1], which functions in broadly the same way. I even use it with Firebase Hosting-hosted sites via [2] (which I wrote). [1] http://goaccess.io/ [2] https://github.com/Silicon-Ally/gcp-clf. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Using Analytics on My Website

  > Just use GoAcces for fuck's sake. GoAccess seems pretty cool and is probably a good task for the job, when you need something simple, thanks for recommending it: https://goaccess.io/ Even if you have analytics of some sort already in place, I think it'd probably still be a nice idea to run GoAccess on your server, behind some additional auth, so you can check up on how the web servers are performing. That said,... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How do {you} analyze apache log files?

  Maybe, if it's just local and need just information, maybe https://goaccess.io is an option. Source: 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Looking for Google Analytics alternative after v4

  You have a request coming in, and a response going out. This can be logged, via your webserver or a framework for analysis [1]. The analytics you mentioned don't require JavaScript. [1] goaccess for example https://goaccess.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Show HN: Why Google Analytics May Not Be the Best Option for Your Website (2023)

  I run goaccess on a cron job and have paired it with a MaxMind GeoIP database so that you can see where people are coming from etc. https://goaccess.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
