Clickstream Analytics on Amazon Web Services
An end-to-end solution to collect, ingest, analyze, and visualize clickstream data inside your web and mobile applications
Overview

This solution collects, ingests, analyzes, and visualizes clickstreams from your websites and mobile applications. Clickstream data is critical for online business analytics use cases, such as user behavior analysis, customer data platform, and marketing analysis. This data derives insights into the patterns of user interactions on a website or application, helping businesses understand user navigation, preferences, and engagement levels to drive product innovation and optimize marketing investments.
With this solution, you can quickly configure and deploy a data pipeline that fits your business and technical needs. It provides purpose-built software development kits (SDKs) that automatically collect common events and easy-to-use APIs to report custom events, enabling you to easily send your customers’ clickstream data to the data pipeline in your Amazon Web Services account. The solution also offers pre-assembled dashboards that visualize key metrics about user lifecycle, including acquisition, engagement, activity, and retention, and adds visibility into user devices and geographies. You can combine user behavior data with business backend data to create a comprehensive data platform and generate insights that drive business growth.
Benefits

You can deploy a reliable and scalable data pipeline within minutes instead of weeks to ingest and process billions of clickstream data. You can query this data in near real-time and view out-of-the-box dashboards right away.

Technical details
The diagram below presents the architecture you can automatically deploy using the solution's implementation guide and accompanying Amazon CloudFormation template.

Amazon CloudFront distributes the frontend web UI assets hosted in the Amazon S3 bucket, and the backend APIs hosted with Amazon API Gateway and Amazon Lambda.
The Amazon Cognito user pool or OpenID Connect (OIDC) is used for authentication.
The web UI console uses Amazon DynamoDB to store persistent data.
Amazon Step Functions, Amazon CloudFormation, Amazon Lambda, and Amazon EventBridge are used for orchestrating the lifecycle management of data pipelines.
The data pipeline is provisioned based on the configurations specified by user in the web console. It consists of Application Load Balancer (ALB), Amazon ECS, Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (Amazon MSK), Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon S3, Amazon EMR Serverless, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon QuickSight.
