    You need to validate complicated optimization ideas, it's seems to be fine extracting data from documents you already have, ask for missing info / documents and calculating numbers…

    I don't think that it's google's fault. Google sometimes trade ads on auctions, meaning they issue and HTTP request to partners asking "Hey, you want to show an ad here", and partn…

    Yes, just add more jitsu nodes. It's hard to answer how many nodes do you need (depends on transformations, CPU/RAM/etc), but you can count on thousands request per second per node…

    That's what the website missing indeed. We have a few words about that in docs, but it's still not enough https://jitsu.com/docs/internals/jitsu-server#mapping-step Overall, Jitsu …

    Two reasons a) you can push events from your apps b) if you want to have more connectors available (Singer, and few native connectors)

    Mixpanel will store the data for you and do visualization. Jitsu just help you to get you data to your data warehouse. Downside: you'll need to build all visualization by yourself.…

    You can hack almost anything using inbound Event API ( https://jitsu.com/docs/sending-data/api ) and JavaScript transformations ( https://jitsu.com/blog/javascript-transform )

    Thank you! 1. Thats exactly the reason we have native connectors for Facebook and Google Ads (we didn't use ones from Airbyte and Singer). Jitsu can pull any combination from FB/GA…

    The same way as Kafka. Jitsu nodes (=collection agents) writes to write ahead log, and then either sends data to destination right away, or sends data in batches.

    That's a chance you have to take when you're making this decision!

    We have some overlap. In simple words: a Singer + DBT, Jitsu is Event Collector + Singer + Airbyte. Meltano will pull data from Singer connectors and do transformations, but they w…

    There's always a tradeoff. By describing our company as "alternative to X" you saving tons of time by explaining what you company does. People are overloaded with information, and …

    We have suggested event structure ( https://github.com/jitsucom/jitsu/blob/master/javascript-sdk... ). If you want to send data to destination, you should either follow suggested s…

    We call it "push" (you send event to Jitsu) and "pull" (Jitsu pulls data) integrations. Technically speaking, push integrations are outnumbered. But that's because we took advantag…

    To be honest, we just grab a first short .com domain name we liked a) which was available at reasonable price b) we like

    Essentially we're doing same thing. But we build Jitsu to be as simple as possible: you don't need to setup multiple services (just one Docker service!), data goes to DWH almost in…

    Jitsu certainly can be used to build spyware (and Linux too, probably 90% of spyware is running on Linux servers), but following this logic any OSS project can be accused of being …
