title: How to quickly build large scale analytics server?
body: <p>I need to build a analytics server for large scale (seven figures and up) quickly and for the cheap.</p>
  
  <p>Piwik would be the easy choice but for what I've gathered so far, Piwik is rather hard to scale and can require rather hefty servers to handle loads.</p>
  
  <p>My second idea would to create quick and dirty Node.js server which just pushes everything to Amazon DynamoDB, so that one can start gathering the data from the day one and then build the UI later on. That would be quick to create and scale (vertically and horizontally). However, I'm wondering if DynamoDB is the right choice for such use? (gather data, generate reports)</p>
