Evaluate the migration of Matomo to a new monitoring server
Open, MediumPublic

Description

We should evaluate the migration of Matomo to a new monitoring server. Also because of the current server intreccio is under visible stress.

But, we can also opt to stretch up intreccio as well, of course, right now.

It's good to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, but how did you determine that Matomo is the culprit? A more obvious first step would be to decouple MediaWiki and Wordpress which are probably the two largest applications (plus their load is heavily correlated and it would be great if they didn't go down at the same time, while Matomo's load is mostly in batch jobs which get be scheduled off-peak).

When you migrate Matomo away, it would be a good chance to consider using a managed instance, to reduce maintenance work. One option is https://cloud68.co/instances/matomo , as WMI already uses Cloud68 (whose data is accessible to employees outside the EU jurisdiction and outside states with adequacy decisions, but not in USA). Otherwise there's Matomo Cloud by Innocraft (which is in EU, New Zealand, Canada and Japan, all states with adequacy decisions). Though if it were my personal website I'd probably go with Plausible.
