Overview

Jitsu is an open-source customer data platform that captures event data from websites, apps and servers and streams it into a data warehouse in real time. Data can be sent to Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres or MySQL, or to an included ClickHouse. Jitsu Functions run JavaScript to filter, modify or augment events before they are stored.

Best for: Data teams collecting event data into their own warehouse, either self-hosted or as a managed service.
Pricing: Free plan with 200k active events/month, Business at $99/month including 2M active events (then $40 per additional 1M events), Enterprise priced on request, and a free self-hosted open-source edition.
Runs on: Self-hostedCLI
