What is it?
Traks is a web analytics platform that runs end to end on Cloudflare's data platform, using Workers, Durable Objects, D1, Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog (Apache Iceberg) and R2 SQL. Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating HMAC hash instead of cookies, and raw IP addresses are not stored. The tracker is a single script tag, and the dashboard is served from the same deployment.
Recent data is served from a per-site SQLite Durable Object with millisecond latency, and the dashboard receives live visitors, pages, referrers and city-level map points over a WebSocket. Historical data is stored as Iceberg tables on R2 and queried with R2 SQL, with edge caching. Authentication uses Better Auth on D1, and the world map is self-hosted.
The install wizard at traks.dev provisions both Workers, D1, KV, the R2 bucket with Data Catalog, and the Pipelines stream and sink into your account. The project is a Yarn and Turborepo monorepo that requires Node 20 or later.
