Open-source customer data infrastructure that collects, validates, and enriches behavioral event data for AI and analytics.
Snowplow is an open-source customer data infrastructure platform that collects, validates, enriches, and delivers behavioral event data from multiple sources. It solves the problem of fragmented, low-quality customer data by providing a centralized pipeline that transforms raw events into governed, AI-ready data for analytics, personalization, and machine learning applications.
Data engineers, analytics teams, and organizations building AI-powered applications who need reliable, high-quality behavioral data from web, mobile, and server-side sources. Digital-first companies like Strava, HelloFresh, and Burberry use it for customer insights and real-time personalization.
Developers choose Snowplow for its transparent "glass-box" architecture, schema-based validation ensuring data cleanliness, and flexibility to deliver data to any destination. It provides complete control over the data pipeline while maintaining governance and compliance, unlike black-box SaaS alternatives.
