Product analytics platform for tracking user behavior and generating data-driven insights
Tianji
All-in-One Insight Hub for Website Analytics and Monitoring
Unified platform combining website analytics, uptime monitoring, and server status tracking in a single lightweight, self-hosted application.
Overview
Unified Observability for Lightweight Needs
Tianji consolidates website analytics, uptime monitoring, and server status tracking into a single self-hosted platform. Born from the frustration of juggling multiple specialized tools—Google Analytics for visitor insights, uptime monitors for connectivity checks, and Prometheus for server metrics—Tianji delivers essential observability features without the operational overhead of managing separate services.
Built for Pragmatic Teams
Designed for developers and teams who need comprehensive monitoring without enterprise complexity, Tianji offers website analytics (page views, unique visitors, traffic sources), active and passive uptime monitoring, server health dashboards, and telemetry collection for open-source projects. Team collaboration features, notification systems, and OpenAPI support enable integration into existing workflows.
Deployment and Extensibility
Released under Apache 2.0 license and inspired by Umami and Uptime Kuma, Tianji supports Docker deployment, Helm charts, and one-click hosting options. Additional capabilities include survey tools, Lighthouse performance reports, webhooks, and waitlist management—making it a practical alternative to fragmented monitoring stacks for small to mid-sized projects.
