Your data lives in someone else's cloud
Every cloud analytics tool stores your visitor data on their servers. You are trusting a third party with your traffic patterns, revenue data, and customer behavior. One policy change or acquisition, and your data is at risk.
GDPR compliance requires trusting a vendor's promises
When your analytics provider claims GDPR compliance, you are taking their word for it. If they experience a breach or change their data processing, you bear the regulatory risk. True compliance means controlling the data yourself.
Vendor lock-in traps your historical data
Switching analytics tools usually means losing years of historical data. Vendors make it easy to import but hard to export. Your analytics history is a strategic asset that should not be held hostage by a SaaS provider.
Cloud pricing scales unpredictably with traffic
Analytics SaaS tools charge by events or pageviews. A traffic spike from a viral post can triple your bill overnight. On your own infrastructure, costs stay fixed regardless of traffic volume.
How DataSaaS helps
Deploy on any VPS with Docker
DataSaaS runs on any Linux server with Docker. Deploy on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Linode, or your existing infrastructure. A single docker compose up command gets you running with Supabase (Postgres), the Next.js dashboard, and the tracking API.
Full data ownership and portability
All data lives in a standard PostgreSQL database that you own and control. Export, backup, replicate, or query your data directly with any SQL tool. No proprietary formats, no data lock-in, no export limitations.
No vendor lock-in, fully open architecture
DataSaaS uses standard open technologies: PostgreSQL, Next.js, and a simple REST API. If you ever want to migrate, your data is in plain Postgres tables. No proprietary SDKs or data formats to untangle.
GDPR-compliant by default
When you self-host, data never leaves your server. Combined with cookieless mode, you get fully GDPR-compliant analytics with zero third-party data processors. Your DPA is simple: the data stays on your machine.
Frequently asked questions
What are the minimum server requirements?
DataSaaS runs comfortably on a VPS with 2 GB RAM and 1 vCPU. For sites with over 100K monthly pageviews, we recommend 4 GB RAM. Storage depends on your event volume; roughly 500 bytes per event, so 1 million events use about 500 MB.
How do I update to new versions?
Pull the latest Docker image and restart the container. Database migrations run automatically on startup. The update process takes under a minute with zero data loss.
Can I still get revenue attribution when self-hosting?
Yes. All features work identically when self-hosted, including Stripe, LemonSqueezy, and Polar integrations. You configure API keys in your environment variables, and revenue data is stored in your own database alongside traffic data.
