I've been using snowplow for 2M+ events/mo and can still remember the pains of setting up. Plus, there's a fixed schema required. I haven't looked into rudder but I'll switch if it offers easier setup and schema.

    Thanks for making a great product with an open source. I'll definitely be trying it out soon for client web and mobile apps. I know self hosting snowplow is already dirt cheap; but is there any price comparison by any chance?

      Honestly, we haven't figured out our pricing model yet - it will likely be a combination of support+enterprise features (don't know what those features would be). At this point we want to make our pilots/customers successful. Would love to understand your use case first and we can discuss pricing (e.g. if you need us to manage it etc)? Follow-up with you on your HN email?

Thanks for asking, I am one of the authors of Rudder. Snowplow is a great analytics tool, especially used for internal analytics. It is open-source and on-prem and keeps your data privacy. It is centered around event enriching and storing to a data warehouse. We are aiming at routing the events reliably to destinations, transforming events real-time, storing them into your data warehouse with a dynamic schema and eventually build a data platform with help from the community.

  Ok that is interesting. I've been thinking about a Snowplow implementation for a while but seems like a big task. Could you expand the differences? > Snowplow is a great analytics tool, especially used for internal analytics\ > centered around event enriching and storing to a data warehouse Is rudder not aimed at these use cases? I seem to gather that you are building a more full stack platform, with a core feature set similar/better to/than Snowplow? Edit: Can you expand on the types of destinations you plan on supporting? I see Sources [Android, iOS, JS] and Destinations [Amplitute, GA, Hubspot etc] but no data warehouses. Can I send raw events to a Snowflake dwh for instance?
