Yama Analytics: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Yama Analytics provides web statistics derived solely from server logs. No JavaScript runs on the visitor's side and no cookies are used. The software receives access logs from web servers such as Caddy, Nginx or Apache, aggregates the data and exposes it through an API for custom dashboards. It runs as a sidecar container or standalone, supports multiple sites and, according to its documentation, is still in beta.

Yama Analytics is developed by SPIKE SAS (Yama) in France, as part of the Yama CMS ecosystem. The code is open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0 or later and is distributed as a Docker image. You install the software yourself, so the logs stay on your own infrastructure; aggregated data is stored as Parquet files in S3 storage of your choice. Since version 0.3.0, log rows can be stored without the IP address. Development was co-funded through NLnet's NGI Zero Commons Fund.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Yama Analytics

Yama Analytics is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Yama Analytics scores best on data residency.

Yama Analytics is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Yama Analytics together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
