Data is the primary object in modern development, where users are, data thrives. From capturing visits to updating carts, data is the medium of exchange in the information age.

Finding an exciting experience in building with Fresh and Deno, the next logical question was how to emit, record, and update data. Along with analytics for understanding traffic, accounting for views, and creating interface elements was an additional consideration.
