On-Prem Product Analytics
A self-hosted product analytics stack built for organisations that cannot send user behavioural data to US-based cloud services. Funnels, retention, cohort analysis, and session recording, all running on your own infrastructure, owned entirely by you, with no external data dependency.
Custom-built, self-hosted product analytics for compliance-heavy environments. Full-funnel tracking from marketing site to in-app feature usage, session recording with data masking, and reporting infrastructure deployed on your servers. Source code is yours, no user data leaves your environment.
SaaS companies, financial services firms, healthcare platforms, and any organisation with data residency requirements, internal security policies, or GDPR obligations that prevent using cloud-based analytics tools.
- 40-100 hours depending on stack complexity and feature scope
- 100% self-hosted: no user data sent to external services
- Supports open-source components (PostHog self-hosted, Matomo, ClickHouse pipelines) or fully custom builds
- Full source code delivered, owned entirely by you
Overview
How to know if you need On-Prem Product Analytics
- Your legal or security team has blocked the use of cloud-based analytics tools because they send user data to US-based servers.
- You operate in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, government) where data residency requirements prevent storing user behaviour outside specific jurisdictions.
- You have tried PostHog Cloud or other cloud-based product analytics tools and found that your data governance requirements make them non-starters.
- You need the same analytical capability as cloud tools (funnels, retention, cohorts, session recording) but running entirely on infrastructure you control.
- You want full ownership of the analytics stack: source code, data pipeline, and reporting layer, with no ongoing vendor dependency.
What On-Prem Product Analytics covers
- Requirements and compliance scoping: data residency requirements, permitted infrastructure, retention policies, and the specific product questions the analytics stack needs to answer.
- Stack architecture: choice of components based on your requirements. Options include PostHog self-hosted, Matomo, a ClickHouse-based event pipeline, or a fully custom build where off-the-shelf open-source tools do not fit.
- Full-funnel event tracking from your marketing site to in-app feature usage, with anonymous-to-authenticated session joining at sign-in.
- Session recording with data masking rules to exclude form inputs, passwords, and any field containing personal data.
- Funnels, retention, and cohort reports configured against your specific product questions.
- Deployment to your infrastructure with full documentation and a tested deployment process.
- Source code delivered in full, with no ongoing dependency on us or any third-party vendor after handover.
On-Prem Product Analytics outcomes
- A fully operational self-hosted analytics stack answering your current product questions, running on your own infrastructure.
- Zero external data dependency: no user behavioural data leaves your environment.
- Full source code ownership with documentation covering deployment, maintenance, and how to extend the stack independently.
- Compliance with your data residency requirements, confirmed before any development begins.
Scope and hours
- 40-100 hours depending on stack complexity, the feature scope, and the infrastructure environment.
- Requirements and compliance scoping happens before any development. Stack selection is confirmed against your constraints, not assumed.
- Infrastructure capable of running the stack is required. We advise on specifications before scoping.
- Development is structured in agreed milestones with review sessions at each stage.
- The initial scope covers your highest-priority product questions. Additional reporting features are scoped as separate engagements.
What makes our On-Prem Product Analytics different
- We scope against your compliance constraints first. Building an analytics stack that your legal team will not approve is not a useful outcome.
- Stack selection is requirements-driven. PostHog self-hosted, Matomo, ClickHouse pipelines, and fully custom builds are all on the table depending on what your environment allows.
- You own the source code entirely. There is no ongoing subscription, no data leaving your infrastructure, and no vendor risk after handover.
- Session recording data masking is built in from the start. Capturing personal data in session recordings in a self-hosted environment creates a compliance exposure that is harder to fix later.

How we deliver On-Prem Product Analytics.
A structured process built around your stack, your team, and your data.
Requirements and compliance scoping
Data residency requirements, permitted infrastructure, retention policies, and the product questions the stack needs to answer are all documented before any stack selection or development begins.
Stack selection
We recommend a stack based on your compliance constraints, event volume, and feature requirements. PostHog self-hosted, Matomo, ClickHouse pipelines, or a custom build, confirmed against your environment before scoping.
Infrastructure setup
Server environment provisioned or reviewed. Database, storage, and network configuration confirmed against the stack requirements and your data retention policies.
Event tracking implementation
Full-funnel tracking implemented from marketing site to in-app features. Anonymous-to-authenticated session joining configured at sign-in. Session recording deployed with data masking rules.
Reporting and validation
Funnels, retention reports, and cohorts configured against your product questions. Validation confirms all events are captured correctly and no data leaves your infrastructure boundary.
Handover and documentation
Source code, deployment documentation, and a technical handover session delivered so your team can maintain and extend the stack independently.
