Just for fun and completeness, there's also taking action on this data outside of your warehouse by making your external tools smarter - in some cases, even writing _back_ to the things you EL'd into it. For example, writing produ

I would recommend separating the service between transactional and marketing. Otherwise, there is always something going on with opt-out. So use Sendgrid or Mailgun for transactional. Hit their API to send a mail. There are pros/cons a

I agree. We are seeing data teams get funding of their own and grow the practice. That has resulted in investment in real tools to make things better.

We are building Grouparoo ( https://www.grouparoo.com ) because we think you should be able to do this yourself and own/control the data - without the incentive structure being messed up from the cost pressure.

Everything in Grouparoo is somehow tied to a user, so if you have a list of "locations" or something, that's not a good fit at this point. We basically need a "foreign key" to a property of the user. If you do have

Yeah, the group-building part and syncing those (for example to Static Lists in Marketo) is like Personas. It was always funny to me that you had to pay quite a bit for Personas for Segment to actually, you know, segment. The gap we saw was

Sounds perfect for us. We have some questions on that issue. Let's make it happen!

Piesync looks cool. I don't see any databases on their list, so it looks to be mainly syncing between SaaS apps. We are open source and running in your own cloud as more of an ETL process. Grouparoo is set up with sources and destinati

At the moment, it depends what you are using Mixpanel for. If it's about collecting events and storing them, then we have a JS web library [1] for that and we'll happily store them in our database and let you do things with them.

Let me know how it goes: brian [at] grouparoo.com Redshift is available now. We've talked about S3, but were looking for input on what kind of formats to read/write. Email me or make an issue [1] with what you were hoping for. [1]

Thanks! That should be an easy one. What was your goal when you started the day? :-)

Great questions, thanks! > Does it have an API to access the user profile and group data ad-hoc? We’ve seen a few approaches here. 1) Yes, there are APIs 2) The Postgres database this runs on is in your data center, so you can read it di

We are doing an open core model. At some point in the future, we'll have an enterprise edition. The philosophy I've heard (maybe from Hashicorp?) is that the core should solve the data problem and the enterprise edition should sol

Overall, we believe events are an overused approach in this space. They clearly have their place for impression data, but product dbs or data warehouses have lots of good stuff that isn't being used enough to drive goals. Then there&#x

We think open source is important, of course, because it has cost and control ramifications, but I'll stay focused. Stitch looks to be doing ELT in the fivetran-ish space. Their "sources" are lots of tools and their "des

For us, open source is about who has control of the data and the integrations. I don't think the world needs another SaaS marketing tool. In the past, you needed a large, focused SaaS vendor to be able to store a million users and thei

Thanks for the links. Overall, there's an interesting organizational dynamic that we've seen around data enablement. Marketing and other operational teams need it and it's often locked in the product space. It's usually

Good question! GDPR is about giving users control and visibility over their personal data and controlling personally identifiable information. Grouparoo is an open source app that runs in your own infrastructure (AWS, etc) and it does segme

When I was running a product team, I often talked about "nuance" being the enemy. Every difference (or arrow in a flowchart) was a new piece of product debt to have to think about later. This article is in that direction. > … t
