Rubygems.org uses Fastly which supports streaming logs (as should any CDN worth their salt - there is no reason whatsoever to wait a whole day to download data that is by definition event-based). FWIW, Fastly CDN log streaming is exactly how I built the view-count system I mentioned above.

At the end of the day a computer does a thing and counts the thing it did. Why write down what it did in a bloated format that only needs to be picked apart later?

From the post it looks like that's what he does now. Fastly uploads files to S3 (you can specify how often), and then a Lambda function is run per file to aggregate the files into view-counts. How is this different from yours?
