We're looking for early users for two exciting new integrations: our S3 Data Lake destination and our Braze Currents source. More details below, along with a few new destination integration updates.

S3 Data Lake destination

Our team has been hard at work on features around data lake destinations. We have world-class support for warehouse and brokers like Kafka, but are working to treat data lakes as first-class citizens as well.

Our first release of the S3 Data Lake destination supports Parquet format and Glue for the metadata catalog.

If you'd like to be an early user and give us feedback on the S3 Data Lake destination, send an email to Katie, who leads our Customer Success team.

Braze Currents source

Braze has been one of our most popular destinations for some time. In partnership with their team, we've built a Braze Currents source, which allows you to pull Braze data through RudderStack.

Specifically, this integration allows you to:

Route Braze event data to a variety of other systems using RudderStack
Stream Braze event data into your data warehouse or to one of our analytics destinations for detailed analysis
Stream Braze event data continuously to power business intelligence tools, machine learning algorithms, and more

If you'd like to be an early user and give us feedback on the Braze Currents source, send an email to Katie, who leads our Customer Success team.
