Snowplow
Snowplow is a behavioral event data pipeline and customer data infrastructure designed to capture user interactions and transform them into structured events for real-time analysis and long-term storage. It functions as a customer data platform that gathers user signals and enriches them with metadata to create a unified view of customer behavior.
The system operates as an event schema validation engine to enforce strict data contracts on incoming streams, preventing data corruption. It further serves as a real-time event router and an event-driven automation platform, triggering proactive business actions and automated responses based on captured behavioral signals.
Its broader capabilities include multi-source event collection from web, mobile, and server sources, alongside pipeline-based enrichment to add external context to raw events. The infrastructure manages the routing of processed data into warehouses, lakehouses, or third-party platforms while coordinating behavioral tracking strategies through tracking plans.
