// ANALYTICS · CLOUDFRONT LOGS + ATHENA

Traffic, without
tracking you.

There is no analytics script on this page. Nothing about your visit is measured in your browser, no cookie is set, and no third-party origin is contacted. The numbers below were computed overnight from the CDN's own access logs — and the log store never receives a visitor IP address in the first place.

Privacy

Client IPs, cookies, ports and network operator are excluded at delivery, so they are never written to S3 — there is no retention policy to trust. Raw logs expire after 30 days regardless.

Cost control

Logs land as partitioned Parquet, so a nightly query reads one prefix per day instead of the bucket. The Athena workgroup also enforces a hard per-query scan ceiling: a query that loses its partition filter is killed by AWS rather than billed.

Honesty

This is a personal site, so the numbers are small. Publishing them is the point — an analytics system you only show when it flatters you isn't a measurement, it's marketing.

How it's built: the case study.
