Very excited to see Segment launch their Developer Center in conjunction with this Growth Stack overview. Our company (ClearBrain) was one of the early technology partners to build into their Development Center, and it's been a transformative impact on our business.

As an analytics company, one of the first hurdles to getting a customer successful is onboarding their data. Every customer has heteregenous schemas and then you need to wait weeks to collect enough data to find reasonable results. Segment made this dead simple by providing an API spec with a standardized schema that just took a couple days for us to integrate with. Once integrated, you gain access to 1000s of mutual companies using Segment, who can stream you their data in exactly the same format (a huge win for analytics efforts and data normalization).

Highly recommend other companies to consider integrating with Segment. The ease of integration and access to a platform serving thousands of customers is especially helpful for startups.
