Consider deprecating old utils API

**Feature request**
It would be great to have analytics for api.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_analytics` with default `false`.

Start by locating the configuration entry point and the existing API or analytics handling. Determine how the `enable_analytics` option should affect production deployments, verify that its default is `false`, and confirm the resulting analytics behavior with the repository's available checks.
