Actually, more and more companies, including mine, are removing GA to simplify compliance and avoid tool overlap 💸
Keeping both adds cost and complexity, especially since GA isn’t required for GAds if conversions and audiences are tracked directly.

Sounds awesome! definitely curious to see how it shapes up.

Awesome! Thanks

Hi David,

Is there a way to get the Analytics Debugger extension on Microsoft Edge? I looked in the store and on your website but couldn’t find it. I think it used to be available but doesn’t seem to be now.

Thanks!

Before that, I was using GTM: smooth and intuitive. ✨ Switching to Commanders Act felt like going from automatic to manual. It required way more Javascript skills than GTM. Tough at first, but diving into the nitty-gritty of tracking taught me the mechanics inside out.

Thanks for sharing! We’re planning to run them together for a bit before switching off GA.

We’re planning to run them together temporarily to make sure everything works well before shutting down GA. Just want to be sure the migration goes smoothly!

Good to know! I’m not worried about the metrics since we’re planning to fully switch to the second tool at the end. I’m more thinking about the technical side, like if running GA4 and the other one together might slow things down or cause issues.

Yeah!
I’d add _STREAM_ID for identifying streams in inserts and _CHANGE_TYPE for tracking changes in CDC queries.

Oh merci, Mehdi! It worked perfectly. Appreciate the help!

For example, I’m trying out Plotly’s dcc.Graph for interactive charts and using vaex to simplify big datasets. So far, it’s looking pretty good for keeping things fast and smooth!

To tackle the performance challenge, I’m experimenting with data aggregation techniques and async rendering. The goal is to keep visuals interactive, even with larger datasets.

This is a huge move and could clear the way for more US-based solutions to get the green light. Let’s wait n see!

Truth!

Yes, that sounds like an amazing idea! We’ve done some workarounds for continuous reporting, but nothing perfect. Plus, dealing with another analytics tool alongside Google Analytics has been a whole different challenge. 🙃

Open sourcing your SQL would be super helpful for sure.

It’s not always smooth—deadlines clash, priorities shift, but when IT and data teams find their rhythm, we don’t just build dashboards or pipelines. We build trust.

IT loves specifics: “What exactly do you need?” Data teams thrive in nuance: “It depends.” It can get messy, but the magic happens when we stop debating details and start co-creating solutions that work for both sides.

Merci Mehdi !
