I’m not familiar with GoAccess or Matomo but after some Googling it looks like Matomo requires self-hosting it’s PHP/MySQL server. If you are using a CDN then I’m assuming that multiple access.log files need to be aggregated at some point unless the CDN has a service that automates the process. Logstash and the full ELK Stack (or alternative) seem to be required when multiple heterogeneous servers are involved in serving content. Browser-side JavaScript analytics seems to avoid the DevOps surrounding the ELK Stack. GoAccess seems like a minimalist solution when you control a single httpd-style server and can run a local daemon to process the access.log file. As a side note, it looks like you need an Enterprise account to use Cloudflare’s Logpush Service or Logpull API. Amazon’s CloudFront has an advantage here. Avoiding Google Analytics is non-trivial for the lazy and/or price conscious.
