1166490 - Pull website launch data from GA into Monolith for popularity and trending sorting

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[David Durst [:ddurst]]

In order to inform website popularity in MP, we need to pull data from GA into Monolith -- this should be identical (in process) to apps, even though the data is about "launch" rather than "install."

Trending was worked on previously, but was not launched.

The difference between apps and websites is that apps you install once and then it is on your device and you launch it multiple times. But, from what I can tell from the UI mocks, websites you launch from Marketplace and would be launched multiple times. I'm not sure the resulting numbers would be equivalent.

I wonder if we only care about the initial launch, then?

To summarize the Google doc for historical purposes, UX propose to record each launch for popularity/trending calculations. The other options being record one launch per user per <time interval>, and record one launch per user period.

Not limiting launch tracking is the easiest as far as backend code is concerned so I'll go with that and we can tweak later if need be.
