- I have an operations background. My first company taught me most of what I know about how to run software and server operations. Fast-forward 15 years and we are now all about the cloud, VPSs, and Kubernetes. I love the cloud. Up until a few weeks ago, my blog has been hosted at Scaleway, which has worked great for me. Today I run it on my own server where (for better or for worse) everything is managed by me. -
-- One thing I was not happy about was Google Analytics. To keep my uptime I want to know the number of page loads and system load in order to optimize and scale. I know, I should probably be using a CDN to mitigate some of these issues, but I don’t feel I’m there just yet. Google Analytics is one of those services that is not known to be privacy friendly, and if you are here, I respect you and your time. I don’t include ads and I try to keep the tracking as limited as possible disabling social crap, etc. For my purposes, I don’t need Google analytics. A web server logs all of the information I need for scaling purposes. All I needed was to access those logs (which I already had access to) and store the data in a database, create a dashboard, and kiss Google Analytics goodbye. -

- -- Over the next few weeks I’ll be writing about my experience moving away from the cloud. The work it involved, where I believe it’s better than the cloud, and where I believe the cloud is superior. I will talk about what’s left in my set up and how I’m planning on tackling it. -
- -- They say the journey is as important as the destination itself and, in this case, I must agree. I have learned a lot through the process. Perhaps someone will learn something from my experience. That will make it all worth it! -
