HitKeep — Web analytics in a single binary.

No Postgres. No Redis. No ClickHouse.

Most self-hosted analytics tools need you to manage 3-4 services just to count page views. HitKeep compiles everything into one static Go binary (~80 MB) that you download and run. Done.

How it works under the hood:

  • DuckDB embedded for columnar OLAP storage — your entire database is one file (~120 MB per million hits).

  • NSQ embedded as an in-process message broker — the HTTP handler enqueues a hit in microseconds, and a background consumer batches writes via DuckDB's appender API.

  • All-in-one: The Angular dashboard and 2 KB tracking script are compiled directly into the binary via Go's embed.FS.

What you get:

  • Real-time dashboard: Track visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, and session duration.

  • Deep profiling: Browser detection (40+ browsers with icons), device types, and OS.

  • Traffic sources: Countries, languages, referrers, and UTM parameters.

  • Ecommerce analytics: Revenue, conversions, and Average Order Value (AOV).

  • Team management with role-based access control (RBAC).

  • Advanced reporting: Period-over-period comparison and email reports.

  • Privacy-first: Cookie-free tracking — no consent banners needed.

Resource footprint: Idles at ~50 MB RAM on a $6/month VPS. No Docker required (though a Docker image is available).

MIT licensed, fully open source. A managed cloud option (EU/US) is available for teams that don't want to self-host - but the OSS binary is the complete product with zero feature gating.
