| Important considerations |
It focuses on aggregate traffic and performance metrics. It does not replace event-based product analytics, conversion funnels, session replay, heatmaps, or user-level journeys, and a Cloudflare account is required. | Cloud usage counts page hits, custom events, and stored event properties; self-hosting shifts upgrades, database operation, and backups to your team. |
