## Notes

Plausible Analytics is web analytics software from a company that describes itself as independent, open source and based in the EU. The software is written in Elixir and stores its data in PostgreSQL and ClickHouse. The self-hosted Community Edition is installed with Docker from a separate deployment repository, and the managed cloud service is built and hosted in the EU.

## Worth knowing

The cloud service and the Community Edition are released separately. The cloud ships several times per week, while the [self-hosting docs](https://plausible.io/docs/self-hosting) describe the Community Edition as a long-term release published twice per year. Marketing funnels, user journeys, ecommerce revenue goals, SSO and the sites API are not available in the Community Edition.
