Quick summary on how this tool works
First of all, what the hell is nolytics? Well, nolytics is a no JavaScript solution for website analytics which I created with the intention of measuring my blog tracking performance. Instead of code event metrics, it uses HTML image fetching directly to track web pages hits. All of the measurement/metrics analytics magic is done on the server side, leaving the client free of cookies and CPU usage.
Nolytics is 100% open-source and lives entirely on the edge (although you can self-host), and you can setup the whole infrastructure right away with a one-click script!
System communication is very easy to understand as each system component is bounded to a small group of responsibilities and everything can be perceived as a script. No virtual machines are needed, since the system is designed to run on the edge!
