It is amazing that this is a niche that has not really been filled via open source offerings.. yet.

Say hello to PG::Stats.

Okay, okay… so this is NOT a finished work of art yet. But I have started a large portion of it thus far. In fact, I currently have:

• A standalone high-performance customized web server daemon for the data push API
• A single perl module for the actual data insertion
• A near-finalized table structure.

The system is written purely in Perl. Theres a front-end I currently have styled and sketched out using the Catalyst framework but nothing functional on that end.

The database is Postgres (as apposed to MySQL) because:

• Postgres supports Table partitions and proper inheritance.
• Postgres has nifty data-type such as IP Address types
• MySQL is now owned by Oracle – need I say more?

I have been thinking of turning this into a GPL’d application and setting up a subversion project on my server if enough people would be interested.
