Well, since Countly Community Edition is open source we don't offer any SaaS from our server just yet. Countly Cloud will be the SaaS solution and I believe a micro instance won't do any good after the first week :) But a micro instance is powerful enough to host a website or a blog, even to open up your service for private beta.

Correlating the data with marketing efforts would be nice and definitely provide more value but the apps we analyzed have little to no marketing budget (although there are some popular ones). This analysis actually shows the importance of marketing and promotion efforts since without them this is how an app ends up.

We will be doing similar analysis in the following weeks and hopefully will provide more detailed insights.

The main point of my blog post was to show our positive experience by using something new to build something new. I'm not talking about renewing your existing backend, changing your perfect PHP implementation to Node.js, I'm talking about our story of choosing a platform for our new project and suggesting people out there to be open to trying new platforms according to their needs. I know the feeling, I did the same before. I have used PHP for projects that I had better alternatives for, just because it felt comfortable and hassle-free.

In our case we have tried several other platforms/languages and the best fit was Node.js for us. “Do the research, be a developer not just an X language developer” would probably sum up my whole point.

We have shortage of documentation for now thats for sure. We will be providing more documents about installation on different platforms in the coming days. If you have any problems or questions we will be more than happy to help if you open up a discussion from http://support.count.ly

You can check the access logs of your server. Probably this is caused by a bot crawling your site and you will see the same IP over and over there. But I'm totally assuming you have a site hosted there which has some kind of database dependence and lots of pages to crawl.
