In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · high confidence

Product analytics SaaS meters events and session replays, and GA4 gives no clean access to raw data.

Use it when

Use it when you want Mixpanel style product analytics with self hosting and GDPR friendly cookieless tracking.

Not the right pick when

The stack needs Postgres, Clickhouse and Redis, so self hosting is heavier than a single page analytics script.

session replay with privacy controls built in
real-time dashboards with interactive charts
built-in A/B testing with variant breakdowns
cookieless tracking and GDPR compliance
