My grandma runs an online web store. She wants to know how many customers are converting and what products are popular, so I put Google Analytics on the site. Despite the issues with having to collect data, it's all she can afford to do (and quite frankly, cannot afford not to).
The infrastructure to do analytics this easily does not exist - unless you expect a 65 yr old to trawl through Apache logs on the command line? Extrapolate that to everything from audits, logging, anonymization of data and of course it's going to push people to use centralized solutions.
From my perspective open source communities seem to have an ideological issue against analytics and business data, so very few solutions exist outside of big tech. What am I to do?
