Plausible Analytics is an open-source, cookieless web analytics alternative to Google Analytics — GDPR-compliant without consent banners and collecting only aggregate traffic data.
Plausible Analytics is a lightweight, open-source web analytics platform built as a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics. The platform collects only the data necessary to understand aggregate website traffic — page views, referral sources, bounce rate, and device information — without using cookies, fingerprinting, or collecting any personally identifiable information. This approach means Plausible is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR out of the box, and does not require cookie consent banners for visitors in regulated jurisdictions. The tracking script is under one kilobyte, making it significantly lighter than the Google Analytics tag.
CNCF open-source container orchestration standard used by 78%+ of cloud-native organizations; Google-originated declarative infrastructure platform competing with AWS Fargate and Cloud Run for Kubernetes enterprise distributions.
Kubernetes (K8s) is the dominant open-source container orchestration platform — originally developed by Google engineers (Joe Beda, Brendan Burns, Craig McLuckie) in 2014, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in 2016, and now maintained by a global community of contributors from Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, Amazon, and hundreds of organizations. Kubernetes manages the deployment, scaling, load balancing, service discovery, and self-healing of containerized applications across clusters of compute nodes, serving as the operating system of cloud-native infrastructure for millions of applications globally.
