[Snowplow Micro](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-micro) is a lightweight version of the Snowplow pipeline. It's great for:

- Getting familiar with Snowplow
- Debugging and testing, including [automated testing](/docs/testing/snowplow-micro/automated-testing/)

All visible rows show Valid status, with event names including page\_ping, ping\_event, and pause\_event collected from a YouTube example page.](/assets/images/overview-1728998b503b68a664fe3b2d8c0e36b8.png)

Just like a real Snowplow pipeline, Micro receives, validates and enriches events sent by your [tracking code](/docs/sources/).

> **Note:** Micro is not designed for production traffic.

To get started in minutes, [deploy Micro through Console](/docs/testing/snowplow-micro/console/) or [run it locally](/docs/testing/snowplow-micro/local/).
