A badly written (probably) and ridiculously simple Go HTTP script to take an incoming request and persist it in Redis for deriving useful information from later.

1. git clone git@github.com:joshmcarthur/go-analytics.git
2. cd go-analytics
3. go get menteslibres.net/gosexy/redis
4. (Ensure Redis is installed and running)
5. go build analytics.go
6. ./analytics
7. open http://localhost:8080/analytics.js
8. Run redis-cli, and then LLEN analytics to see that request data is being pushed onto the list

I'm still working that out myself at the moment - all this does is serializes the request and stores it as JSON. What you might do though, is run a worker that does something along the following lines:

1. Use an RPOP Redis command to get the oldest item added to the list (FIFO style)
2. De-serialize the JSON
3. Geolocate the remote IP to find out where the visitor came from - maybe try and work out their ISP
4. Take a look at the User-Agent and map that to previous requests
5. Have a look at the URL they requested, along with any params
6. Inspect any custom headers you might have added to the request - maybe you're interested in rendering time, the current user, or how many times they've visited before.

• Same instructions as above up to 4]
• go test -v
• All tests should be passing, but require that a Redis server is runnning at localhost:6379.
