Definitely not a "good talk/blog post/video course" type of thing, however if you are interested on how we built Countly from ground up, together with the technology stack behind, you can check our source code here: https://github.com/countly/countly-server While we have used MongoDB, Nodejs, Linux as underlying platforms, there are several options out there you may check. Note that some (if not most) of the effort would go into SDK development, and to tell you the truth, SDK development is no easy task as it requires knowledge of how different platforms work. The point is (and take it as a warning): you will never be satisfied with what you have - after you are done with vital data, then there is custom events, raw data, user profiles, online users, and then you will start eating your own dog food as it becomes your part-time job.
In Ask HN: Good tech talks on how analytics systems are implemented?
Hey there, Could you please explain your use-case? Depending on your use-case, there are multiple solutions that fit in different use-cases. Plug & Play Solutions: Matomo: It's basically on-premise Google Analytics, it stores the data on Mysql and provides pageview & event metrics. (https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo) Countly: It's the extensible version of Matomo on top of Mongodb. While storing the raw data might not be their best bet, if you're looking for event analytics dashboard with pre-built features, it's definitely worth trying out. (https://github.com/Countly/countly-server) Self-service Solutions: Snowplow: It's an enterprise level event analytics solution. It's really extensible and it supports many different data-warehouse solutions such as Elasticsearch, Redshift, etc. but not that easy to learn & maintain. (https://githu

b.com/snowplow/snowplow) Rakam: Similar to Snowplow, it collects and enriches event data and stores it in your data warehouse. We support Postgresql, Snowflake, and Prestodb at the moment. Unlike Snowplow, you send the event data without defining the schema, we generate the schema on the fly for you which makes it similar to Amplitude. (https://github.com/rakam-io/rakam) Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of Rakam.
