PostHog
The all-in-one product analytics suite for developers, with an open-source heart.
Overview
PostHog is an open-source product analytics suite that aims to be the 'Product OS' for developers. It combines several critical tools into a single platform, including product analytics, session replay, feature flags, and A/B testing. This integrated approach allows teams to understand user behavior, test new features, and optimize their products without relying on multiple disparate tools. The core value proposition of PostHog lies in its open-source nature and the flexibility it offers. Users can choose between a cloud-hosted solution or self-host the platform on their own infrastructure, providing unparalleled control over data privacy and security. This makes it particularly appealing to developers and companies who prioritize data ownership and customizability over vendor lock-in. PostHog is built to empower product teams with the insights needed to make data-driven decisions and iterate quickly.
