Is there a way I can host CE on Docker, Serverless, or similar without AWS's "infinite cost" model?

Hi there. For this initial launch, we focused on AWS serverless and CloudFormation. But why not in the future.

I'd be interested when that happens. Not a fan of CF/lambda-only, prefer cloud agnostic deployment possibilities.

Have you gotten any legal review re: GDPR or passing user analytic data through a proxy in a non-EU area?

Ya sure for the cloud agnostic deployment . Thank you for your feedback.

For the GDPR part, the whole point of the project is that any data that comes out of the proxy is completely anonymized and as such is not subject to GDPR.

What I meant was, you are cloud-hosting (assuming not CE) the part where the non-anonymised PII is sent to [as opposed to sanitised coming out of] and processing it; and in addition the only provider supported is one subject to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

I see. We are not storing the PII (ip + ua) and do not expect you to send us any PII (e.g. as part of your page title, etc). Basically, (ip + ua) hit our servers, are translated into a hash and mapped to a random id. When you come back, we recalculate the hash, find your random id and forward it to GA. And, after 24h everything is deleted.
