Preparing to install OpenSnowcat

OpenSnowcat is fully compatible with Snowplow pipeline with some minor differences, which are in fact additions we made to the code. Notice this manual is not designed to be a replacement for the official Snowplow documentation.

Collector

  • No differences

Enricher

  • OpenSnowcat Enricher has an EventBridge modules
  • OpenSnowcat Enricher can write a flattened JSON to Kinesis

Loader

Snowplow uses proprietary components like rdb-loader and bigquery-loader to load data and maintain and evolve table schemas.

While we decided to fork and maintain loading companents that migrated to Snowplow License we must recognize today that any decent database is perfectly capable of ingesting JSON files. Long-term we see no reason to maintain these components.
