What is it?
Databuddy helps teams see where visitors come from, what they do in their product, and where they drop off. A single cookieless script tracks page visitors, custom events, funnels and goals, with opt-in error and web vitals tracking.
Databunny, the built-in AI analyst, answers questions about your data and shows the query behind each answer. Feature flags, short links and uptime monitoring live in the same dashboard, so teams don't need separate tools for these jobs.
You can use the hosted service or self-host with Docker Compose. Self-hosting runs the dashboard, API, event collector, uptime worker and short-link service, and stores events in ClickHouse. Email and AI features are optional.
