Welcome to OpenSnowcat

OpenSnowcat is an Open-Source Snowplow Fork, fully featured pipeline for data collection, enrichment, routing, and loading.

It provides a complete data pipeline solution, from collection and enrichment to routing and storage, seamlessly integrating with best-in-class tools and infrastructure.

OpenSnowcat is Open Source (Apache 2.0) and can be used in production unlike Snowplow where you need to purchase a license to run in production.

Key Differentiators

Use OpenSnowcat in production without licensing restrictions. Unlike Snowplow, there are no commercial barriers.

🔌 Enhanced Integrations

  • Segment Analytics.js compatibility in the Collector

  • RESTful API for schema management
  • Draft schema support
  • Granular permissions
  • AI assistant integration via MCP
