Exlytics

Exlytics is a simple, privacy-focused tool to gather web analytics; anything from page views to click-stream events. The events are cached in Redis and flushed to Google Cloud Storage on a regular basis.

Setup

  1. Ensure that you have a running Redis instance and set the URL in config/dev.exs.
  2. Create a Google Cloud Storage bucket and set the name in config/dev.exs.
  3. Export a service account key and ensure that the SA has access to write to the GCS bucket.
  4. Export an GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable that points to the JSON key for the SA.

Running

Run iex -S mix and the server will automatically start. Visit localhost:8080 and a generic event will be saved to Redis.

Planned improvements

  1. Replace Redis with Erlang ETS.
  2. Replace the Google Service Account with Workload Identity.
