OVERVIEW

About this course

The server-side Google Tag Manager sometimes seems like the holy grail when you read people talking and writing about it. Let's be clear, it's a great tool and can improve things in your tracking setup. But you should know what improvements you can expect and what are just some myths.

After that, we will show you how to set up a server-side Tag Manager instance using Google AppEngine. This is a bit different from the automatic setup because here you can define the region where your Tag Manager is hosted (very important for EU-based companies) and how many instances you need based on your daily traffic.

Alexander and I do this together and share a lot of context, learnings and insights about using Google Tag Manager.
