Can you recommend an analytics platform for a dev tool?

Question

I'm building a dev tool thats going to go out to other developers. The easy thing to do is to slap on google analytics. I don't know how google analytics is currently viewed in the dev world but I don't imagine it gets a lot of love. IDK, maybe I'm wrong.In any case, could you recommend some alternatives I could use instead?

Is the "tool" a native application or a website/web app? Usually, self-hosting is the "better" way. If it's a web-app, have a look at the platform I'm working on: https://uxwizz.com

MixPanel has been a joy to use. We mostly used to slap on the GA script tag out of simplicity, but found:
- data collection is slow- you get your daily stats sometimes 10 hours after the previous day ends which just feels wrong. On Mixpanel, we see our events as they come in.
- The experience is poor from a visitor perspective.
- Tracking events feels less than ergonomic.
MixPanel's event-centric data has made A/B testing 100x easier
