wow! May I ask where you advertised Snowplow so far? I can't believe that I don't know it.
Awesome product, looks a little hard to setup, due to the Hadoop linkage, but definitely worth to be used on my next projects. Maybe worth making a vm appliance, puppet/chef, or docker script for easier deployment.
Why haven't I ever heard of it? I usually "snowplow" the web for all kinds of software, but it appears that I haven't crossed the marketing channels you've targeted.
- rcsorensen 13y agoThe setup is pretty annoying. I still haven't figured out what permissions need to be granted to IAM users on AWS to do things like spin up the Hadoop jobs. Having your granular end up in Redshift, ready to be enriched with other biz data sources is a beautiful, beautiful thing, and completely worth it.
- alexatkeplar 13y agoFunnily enough, have been working on that exact setup gripe this afternoon: https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/IAM-setup https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/IAM-setup (work in progress ;-)
- alexatkeplar 13y agoThanks for the kind words X4! Marketing-wise - we are just growing organically, slowly building the userbase as more people come into contact with what we're offering. Deployment-wise - it is a bit fiddly to set up. A community member is hopefully going to work on some Opscode Chef and Amazon CloudFormation scripts so that should make it a lot easier.
