Slightly off-topic: Does anyone have recommendations for self-hosted open source analytics that can handle a large volume site (think 500.000.000 impressions per month)? I can't imagine systems with MySQL/PostgreSQL as database can handle this.
out of curiosity, why so?
As for question - I saw a lot of great reviews on ClickHouse DB
Not if you assume that some hours will have more web traffic than others.
Clickhouse seems very suitable as database. Does anybody know open source analytics tools that use it? Two parts would be needed: the client javascript tracker which injects into the database, and a GUI for reports.
