Thanks for asking, I am one of the authors of Rudder. Snowplow is a great analytics tool, especially used for internal analytics. It is open-source and on-prem and keeps your data privacy. It is centered around event enriching and storing to a data warehouse.

We are aiming at routing the events reliably to destinations, transforming events real-time, storing them into your data warehouse with a dynamic schema and eventually build a data platform with help from the community.

Ok that is interesting. I've been thinking about a Snowplow implementation for a while but seems like a big task. Could you expand the differences?

Is rudder not aimed at these use cases?

I seem to gather that you are building a more full stack platform, with a core feature set similar/better to/than Snowplow?

Edit: Can you expand on the types of destinations you plan on supporting? I see Sources [Android, iOS, JS] and Destinations [Amplitute, GA, Hubspot etc] but no data warehouses. Can I send raw events to a Snowflake dwh for instance?
