Not sure how I’d set up server logging on a serverless site. (Not being snarky; I really don’t know.)

I accept that GA will be off +/-10% because it’s clientside. Don’t need total accuracy to make marketing decisions.

"Serverless"... someone's running a server. What kind? For instance, if you're on AWS and an ELB is involved, you can set up ELB logging to S3.

Yes but you’re saying twitter say their metrics are off by a factor of 5 because it’s not running the GA JS. If you wanted to properly investigate that looking at the server logs would probably give a better idea in this case.

I guess with serverless you should be able to see this either with your own logging or perhaps on AWS with Cloudwatch? (no idea as I’ve not used it).
