We have a new UI update to share along with several new integrations. Also, we'll dig into our latest series on migrating from Segment.

Destinations UI redesign

We recently announced the redesign of our sources UI and the team just completed an update for destinations view.

You can now click on tabs to quickly see connected Sources, Transformations applied to the destination, the Configuration (credentials), the Settings, and an Audit Log of changes made to the destination.

How to migrate from Segment

Many of our customers come to RudderStack from Segment as they re-architect their CDP to be warehouse-first. Our latest blog series offers step-by-step instructions for migrating, from the basics to more advanced topics like replicating Personas functionality in RudderStack.

The first post covers a basic migration in 4 steps, including code snippets:

Setting up RudderStack
Updating your SDK implementation
Migrating your warehouse schemas
Backfilling anonymousIDs from Segment
Many of our customers can accomplish a basic migration in 1 week with 1 developer. Stay tuned for more posts in the coming weeks.
