I don't understand why first-party analytics and JavaScript aren't more popular, but I suppose it's a matter of cost in the serverless and freemium world. But for VC stuff... There are plenty of pre-built analytics kits out there that can run from your site and you would have none of these problems.

Is there something that will integrate with nginx or rails ? I am having hard time finding these.

Matomo can easily share nginx with whatever site you are running. It's PHP/MySQL, which these days for a low impact site, will run perfectly well out of the box, no running required.
