“Creating a new event schema was too onerous in Snowplow - you have to create the schema, publish the schema, and then do it again in Redshift. All those parts had to align for data to stream through. The thought of having to embark on a new project in Snowplow didn’t fill me with joy at all.”

- Steve Flitcroft
VP R&D, iVendi

When companies migrate from Snowplow, they love using these features:

Transformations

You can run JavaScript functions on the live event stream or DBT models on at-rest data, then send the results to your entire stack.

Data Governance API

Pull rich metadata on your event stream and integrate with your existing alerting system and CI/CD pipeline, then push schema enforcement back into system—all via the API.

Rich Grafana Dashboards

Get a real-time view of events, see performance under load and get rich statistics about event delivery.
