Can this work for building pipelines for specific users? E.g. our customers can connect their CRM to our platform.

There are a couple of ways to address this: 1. Create a Source for each customer and send customer specific data to each source. Configured pipelines for each source will receive the event data and processes it. 2. Create one source with multiple pipelines connected to it. In each pipeline, you can drop processing the data based on any conditions. #1 is preferred so you are sure each customer's data is only reaching…

Can this be done by API?

The entire backend is available via REST interface. I am looking to support finer API permissions via auth tokens.

But the APIs are accessible today with basic auth.

Krishna: From the comments, you can tell everybody is trying to position your product, so I suggest explicitly naming your competitors in your landing page, and explaining how you are better or different. Don't worry about driving prospective customers away; everybody already knows about the competitors.

Thank you.

Fair feedback. I definitely need to anchor myself to specific niche instead of saying it can work for anything and everything.

is this a sort of heroku? this gives me pause because i am dubious about building on a platform's PaaS as it is now I have this as an option but they (AWS, GCP, etc) are likely to be around, but you're just you. So is this something we can self host or... is there a hostable solution you want to push folks to?

It is self-hostable today. Just clone the repository, update the .env file and run "docker compose up" to get the instance running.

Really cool!
