What is poeticmetric?
PoeticMetric is a privacy-focused, open-source web analytics tool that serves as a Google Analytics alternative. It collects no personal data, uses no cookies, and is fully compliant with major privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, PECR, and KVKK. The platform provides clear, clutter-free reports with team collaboration features, a REST API for integrations, and lightning-fast performance powered by ClickHouse. It is self-hosted via Docker Compose with pre-built images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 architectures. The architecture consists of a Next.js frontend served by NGINX, a Go backend with REST API, worker, and scheduler components, backed by PostgreSQL (primary database), ClickHouse (analytics OLAP), RabbitMQ (message broker), and Redis (ephemeral storage). A managed cloud service is also available at poeticmetric.com with free and paid tiers.
