> We help companies collect events from their apps, websites, and APIs and send them to databases. For those who don't know what "Segment" is (like me) - this

  Not affiliated but that is not accurate. Segment is a fancy event router / multiplexer. You emit events to it and it sends them to reporting and storage destinations. It does have more features for web apps but that is not the only use case.

    Jitsu can multiplex events and send it to different destinations too. I admit, we don't have that much destinations as Segment (we support Amplitude, Hubspot, GA and Facebook). But we can send data to any HTTP-enpoint (see Webhook destination). Since the body of HTTP request is a JavaScript expression, with a little hacking you can support almost any service.

  You mean we don't have libs for Mobile platforms / backend frameworks? That's true, tough we have iOS SDK[1] and community maintained Go client. However, all libs are merely wrapper around http api[2]. We will implement other client libs soon, but calling HTTP API directly works very well too [1] https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/mobile-apps/ios-sdk https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/mobile-apps/ios-sdk [2] https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/api https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/api

  There's an http endpoint so it's easy to use from a browser, but of course it's usable from any process that can post to the endpoint.
