Is Snowplow good?

• Open-source data collection & modeling platform for product analytics

  We’ve also thought about Ops :-). There’s a backend 'Collector' that stores data in Postgres, for instance to use while developing locally, or if you want to get set up quickly.

• What are the different ways to collect large amounts of data, like millions of rows?

• Cookie-based tracking is dead

  I added Snowplow Analytics to a site with a lot of traffic. It was a very basic implementation, where data is collected with Snowplow, stored in google big query, and visualized in google data studio. The data is collected from the caching/web server combined with a 1st part cookie set in the user's browser. - Source: dev.to / over 4 years ago
