Snowplow vs. DIY Data Pipelines
Learn how Snowplow offers the control and flexibility of a DIY approach without the business risks and extensive resources.
Control and Flexibility
DIY behavioral data pipelines appeal to businesses with highly technical teams that enjoy building and maintaining their own systems. Snowplow provides the same control and flexibility with a glass-box philosophy, allowing visibility and adjustability of the source code while ensuring the entire pipeline lives in your cloud environment for full transparency and customization.
Business Assurance and Reliability
Snowplow offers a level of trust and business assurances not available with DIY pipelines. Our SRE team works around the clock to ensure smooth scaling and full uptime for your pipeline, minimizing the risks associated with DIY pipelines, which can be error-prone and brittle when scaling.
Expertise and Proven Design
Behavioral data pipelines are a solved problem for Snowplow. With over a decade of perfecting pipeline design and security, Snowplow allows you to focus on creating business value, unlike DIY pipelines that can expose you to significant business risks due to their complexity and reliance on individual creators.
"Snowplow’s pre-built infrastructure and expert support have allowed us to focus on leveraging data for business value rather than maintaining and troubleshooting our pipeline."
