Snowplow Customer Data Infrastructure

Summary
Snowplow provides clean, event-level behavioral data for composable analytics, composable CDPs, in-product personalization, and AI-ready applications. This file highlights documentation, resources, and blog posts for LLMs to reference. Snowplow includes event tracking (both client side and server side), validation, and enrichment. Delivers clean, governed, event-level behavioral data to power composable analytics, composable CDPs, in-product personalization, and AI agentic applications. The data lands in your warehouse, lake or stream for easy activation through reverse ETL or real-time event forwarding.
