Gobble
What it is
Gobble is an open-source, multi-tenant event tracking and analytics platform built in Rust. It records clicks, postbacks, impressions, pageviews, and outbound link clicks through browser and server-side collection. Its browser beacon covers single-page application navigation and sends events with navigator.sendBeacon(). The project says this beacon uses no cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or fingerprinting, keeping its generated session ID only in JavaScript memory. Querying is split into hot, warm, and cold tiers: warm data provides 30-day aggregates, while cold data covers full history. Gobble provides browser and zero-dependency TypeScript server SDKs. The server SDK can create signed or encrypted tracking URLs and batch events, with the /batch endpoint accepting up to 10,000 events. Redirects support HMAC-SHA256 or AES-256-GCM protection. The README lists an MCP server with 26 tools and a Vivgrid AI chat integration, and claims about 1.8 billion events per day for one instance with Iggy persistence.
For and against
For
- Open-source Apache 2.0 license
- Browser and server-side event collection
- Cookie-free beacon design
- Hot, warm, and cold query tiers
- Signed or encrypted tracking URLs
Against
- Free and pro tier limits are not numeric
- Batch endpoint accepts up to 10,000 events
- Self-hosting requires a custom tracker server
The verdict
Gobble combines privacy-oriented browser tracking, server SDKs, tiered analytics, and event-routing options. Its open-source model and documented security controls give technical teams flexibility, while plan limits remain broadly described.
Who it suits
Gobble suits teams seeking open-source event collection with browser and server-side tracking. It may appeal to organizations focused on cookie-free beacon operation and self-hosting.
