## Notes

Countly is an analytics and engagement server. A site or app sends data to it through the Countly SDKs or the write API, and the dashboards show what was collected. The repository holds the server side, including session and event collection, reporting, push notifications, remote configuration and a plugin architecture. It runs on Linux, installed with a script or a Docker image, and keeps its data in MongoDB on Node.js. Countly Ltd maintains the project and also offers a paid Enterprise edition and a managed Flex service.

## Worth knowing

The README describes the free Lite edition as open source for non-commercial use, and the repository's LICENSE file adds a term about keeping the Countly logo. Advanced features, granular data access and support sit in the Enterprise edition.
