Also one thing to add here is that the client libraries are a lot of the work and you can use the snowplow js&#x2F;ios&#x2F;python etc.. no matter what server-side setup you use. I like to think of snowplow as pushing the open-source analytics standard and then hopefully an ecosystem of server-side products grows around that, led by their own product.<p>We&#x27;re doing something as dumb as using logs from cloud storage and parsing those with a ~100 line python script into a DB. S3&#x2F;GCS deal with the collector uptime and as long as you aren&#x27;t time-sensitive it is a great solution.<p>The biggest issue with self-hosted analytics is visualizing&#x2F;sharing the results with non-tech parts of the team. Piwik has some advantages here because it&#x27;s closer to Google Analytics or Mixpanel than to a DB of event rows...
