I'm surprised too. I work at companies that have their own data center so can't use new relic, datadog etc. I'm really surprised there aren't more free open source analytics platforms for small projects. I'm going to start one when I "get some spare time". lol.

Anyone know of anything out there?

Using paid tools has no relation with having or not having your own datacenter.

If you have a small project (what is "small"?) you just deal with Google analytics or direct SQL requests to the single database you have. Don't need fancy tools.

The two free stuff I can think of are piwik and snowplowanalytics. They clearly suffer from "free open source" when compared to the paid tools out there.

Actually I forgot that I played with nagios vs graphite - if anyone knows of other backends similar to those that would be appreciated.
