Snowplow sources overview
CloudPrivate Managed CloudSelf-HostedAddon
Snowplow supports a wide range of sources which send events to your Collector endpoint.
Snowplow tracker SDKs are client- or server-side libraries that enable you to collect events from your own applications. For tracking events from third-party applications, use webhooks.
You can find the source code for each tracker on GitHub, where possible. The JavaScript tracker repository is a multirepository containing the web (JavaScript and Browser), Node.js, and React Native trackers.
All Snowplow trackers have open-source licenses (Apache 2.0 License, except for the JavaScript tracker which is BSD 3-Clause License).
