Introducing Serverlog: a Chill Server-Side Tracking App

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on a new project (Serverlog.io) to track events directly from the server. The main problem I’m aiming to solve is the fact that client-side tracking simply doesn’t work reliably anymore. It leaves out anyone using an ad blocker or privacy-focused browsers like Brave, which results in incomplete or misleading analytics. One tool that inspired me to build this project is LogSnag — I love their UI and minimalism. However, I’m not a big fan of their pricing model. I believe the cost per event is too high, which makes it hard to scale predictably. The MVP I developed a simple MVP that allows you to: • Create projects • Create channels within each project • Track events inside those channels I also built a Node.js library to make integration easier. Plus, you can connect Serverlog to any system via its API. This foundational event-tracking unit opens the door for more advanced features like funnels, reports, and alerts, all of which I’m actively working on.

Connect Serverlog to any system

The MVP

I developed a simple MVP that allows you to:

• Create projects

• Create channels within each project

• Track events inside those channels

I also built a Node.js library to make integration easier. Plus, you can connect Serverlog to any system via its API.
