The Challenge
Software.com was using Snowplow’s Managed Service, but shifting commercial terms — such as longer contract commitments and increased pricing — led them to look for a more flexible and sustainable alternative.
They had three clear goals in mind:
- A more cost-effective solution
- Infrastructure ownership
- A risk-free migration path
The Solution
Software.com partnered with SnowcatCloud to switch to OpenSnowcat — the open-source fork of Snowplow maintained by SnowcatCloud.
We supported:
- A full migration from Snowplow Managed Service to SnowcatCloud
- Hands-on help transitioning to a self-hosted pipeline
- Schema management guidance, Git-based workflows, and Snowflake optimization
- Schema migration, migration plan
“If we couldn’t self-host, we would’ve happily stayed with SnowcatCloud. That’s how good the support was.” Mason McLead, CTO, Software.com
