Clickstream is a managed service by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows you to capture, process, and analyze Clickstream data from websites and mobile apps in real time. It is an umbrella term that leverages a varied stack of other technologies from AWS to perform this function.
Clickstream Analytics on AWS automates and simplifies deriving insights from millions of clicks happening at velocity and scale. It integrates into digital repositories to help collect and analyze user activity on digital assets to deliver accurate data sets, understand user behavior, and plan components based on that data.
Clickstream events work as small pieces of data generated with user actions coming in at high speed and volume.
A user’s start and end period on a website or a mobile app can be classified as an event from which sessions are to be identified and created, known as sessionization. When you run sessionization on Clickstream data, you identify events and assign them to a session with a specified key and lag period. After each event has a key, you can perform analytics on them. Amazon Kinesis helps ingest this data in real time, providing statistics immediately.
To conduct sessionization in batches, businesses can use solutions like Amazon Glue and Amazon EMR. With large data sets, businesses can use Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics. Businesses can also use AWS Lambda functions, including shorter sessions and endpoints that work with machine learning.
Some of the use cases of Clickstream in AWS are:
• Website analytics
• User behavior analysis
• Personalization
• User interaction on an organization’s digital repositories
• Identifying trends and patterns
• Data-driven decisions
• Improving user engagement and conversion rates
Businesses can update recommendations, perform advanced A/B testing, targeted marketing campaigns, and push notifications with Clickstream on AWS to understand customer preferences better and improve user experience.
It helps businesses see popular products and services, how customers interact with a site, and identify trends and patterns. It also helps identify problem areas on customers’ sites, see competitors’ performance, and improve them with data-backed predictions and insights.
