Gobble
Gobble is a free, open-source, multi-tenant event tracking and analytics platform built in Rust.
What Gobble is
Gobble is a free, open-source, multi-tenant event tracking and analytics platform built in Rust. It captures clicks, postbacks, impressions, pageviews, and outbound link clicks through browser and server-side collection. The browser beacon covers single-page application navigation and uses navigator.sendBeacon(). Gobble says the beacon uses no cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or fingerprinting; its session ID remains in JavaScript memory. Query data is organized into hot, warm, and cold tiers, with warm providing 30-day aggregates and cold covering full history. The README claims one instance can process about 1.8 billion events per day with Iggy persistence. A browser beacon package and zero-dependency TypeScript SDK are provided. The SDK can batch events and create signed or encrypted tracking URLs; the batch endpoint accepts up to 10,000 events. Redirects support HMAC-SHA256 or AES-256-GCM, and the project includes an MCP server with 26 tools and Vivgrid AI chat integration.
Good
- Open-source Apache License 2.0 project
- Browser and server-side event collection
- No cookies or fingerprinting in beacon
- Warm and cold history tiers
- Batch endpoint accepts up to 10,000 events
Watch out
- Free-tier plan limits are not numeric
- Self-hosting requires a custom tracker server URL
- Cold and warm query access differs by tier
Who it suits
It suits teams seeking a self-hosted or web event platform with browser and server collection. Developers can use its beacon, TypeScript SDK, event routing, and encrypted redirect options.
Verdict
Gobble provides privacy-oriented event collection, multi-tenant analytics, SDKs, and routing controls without a listed price. Its free and pro tiers differ in query access, but the README gives no numeric plan limits.
