Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully completed the Signals Sandbox tutorial and experienced real-time personalization in action.

In this tutorial, you:

  • Deployed a Signals Sandbox instance
  • Used the Signals Python SDK to programmatically define attributes
  • Created a service to expose calculated attributes
  • Defined rule-based interventions for common ecommerce scenarios
  • Tested your configuration with an interactive demo application
  • Saw real-time personalization triggered by actual user behavior

You've worked with the core Signals concepts:

  • Attributes: real-time calculations of user behavior patterns
  • Attribute groups: organized collections of related attributes
  • Services: interfaces for applications to retrieve attributes
  • Interventions: rules that trigger personalized experiences

Thank you for trying Signals. We hope this tutorial has inspired ideas for how you can use real-time behavioral data to create personalized experiences for your users.

Next steps

Now that you understand how Signals works, here are some ways to continue your journey:

Explore more Signals capabilities

  • Try defining attributes with different aggregations (min, max, average, etc.)
  • Experiment with time windows for attributes
  • Create more complex intervention criteria using multiple attributes
  • Define attributes based on different event types

Sandbox limitations

Remember that the Signals Sandbox is designed for exploration and learning:

  • Sandbox instances are temporary and will be deleted after some period
  • Data is not persisted long-term
  • Performance and rate limits apply
  • For production use cases, use Snowplow CDI with Signals
