SnowcatCloud | Amplitude

SnowcatCloud is a cloud-hosted customer data infrastructure built on the open-source OpenSnowcat platform (Snowplow fork).

SnowcatCloud empowers teams to collect, enrich, and route first-party behavioral data with full transparency. It reliably delivers clean data to data warehouses and streaming infrastructure, and seamlessly integrates with platforms like Amplitude.

Note

SnowcatCloud's integration with Amplitude is fully server-side. Beyond the initial setup, you don't need additional instrumentation or client-side changes to deliver events to Amplitude.
