Hi, i wonder if anyway know of a traffic analytics tool/softwhere that uses rockstar as database? Im looking for a Google Analytics replacement where we will have all data in our rockstar database.

StarRocks

Yes, I'm ready! Please go ahead and ask your question about StarRocks. I can help with syntax, configuration, troubleshooting, or general features.

@Rocky i wonder if anyway know of a traffic analytics tool/softwhere that uses rockstar as database? Im looking for a Google Analytics replacement where we will have all data in our rockstar database.

Currently, there is no single, "one-click" Google Analytics replacement (like Plausible or Umami) that uses StarRocks as its native, out-of-the-box primary database. Most existing GA alternatives are built specifically around PostgreSQL or ClickHouse. However, StarRocks is widely used as the backend for custom-built traffic and behavior analytics platforms at companies like Tencent, Pinterest, and Shopee because it excels at the real-time joins and high concurrency that traffic analytics require. If you want to build a Google Analytics replacement using StarRocks, the standard approach is to combine the following "Modern Data Stack" components: 1. Ingestion (The "Collector") Instead of a single tool, you use a collector to capture website events and send them to StarRocks: * RudderStack: An open-source alternative to Segment. It can collect web/mobile events and has built-in support for sending data to StarRocks as a destination. * Snowplow: A more enterprise-grade behavioral data platform. You can use Snowplow to collect raw "clickstream" data and load it into StarRocks for analysis. 2. Storage & Processing (The "Database") * StarRocks: You would store your raw events here. Its Primary Key model is particularly useful for handling real-time updates (like session timeouts or status changes), and its Materialized Views can pre-aggregate your daily traffic stats for sub-second dashboard performance. 3. Visualization (The "GA Dashboard") To get the "Google Analytics" look and feel, you connect a BI tool to StarRocks via its MySQL-compatible protocol: * Apache Superset: An open-source visualization platform that is highly compatible with StarRocks. There are many community templates for building GA-like dashboards (pageviews, bounce rates, sessions) on top of event data. * Metabase: Another popular open-source BI tool. Metabase has a dedicated StarRocks connector and is often used for "self-service" traffic reporting. Why use StarRocks for this? While it requires more setup than a single app, using StarRocks for traffic analytics offers several advantages over tools like Matomo or Plausible: * Massive Scale: It can handle trillions of rows (as seen in WeChat’s implementation). * Complex Joins: You can easily join traffic data with your internal business data (e.g., "Show me the traffic source for users who spent more than $500") without denormalizing your data first. * Unified Analytics: You can keep your website traffic in the same database as your product and sales data for a "single source of truth." Recommendation: If you want a ready-to-use software today, you might look at Betterlytics (which often appears in StarRocks ecosystems) or try connecting Matomo to StarRocks via the MySQL protocol—though the latter may require some SQL tuning to ensure all Matomo-specific queries run optimally on an OLAP engine.
