rudderstack-docs VS Jekyll

2/ Featured tools this week - Transform and RudderStack

RudderStack is an open-source Customer Data Pipeline that allows you to track and send real-time events from your web, mobile, and server-side sources to your entire customer data stack. Our primary repository - rudder-server - is open-sourced on GitHub.

This post will explain how your customer data pipeline can help improve your data privacy and how to ensure your data privacy with RudderStack.

However, limitations to traditional CDPs, especially around connecting to best-of-breed customer tooling and exposing data for use across an organization have driven a new generation of non-CDPs. Solutions like Snowplow's (website, GitHub) data delivery platform and RudderStack's (website, GitHub) customer data platform for developers ingest data from a multitude of sources, apply in-stream transformations, and route data to your data warehouse, like Snowplow, or your warehouse plus your preferred customer tooling destinations for activation, like RudderStack.

I learned many lessons from this journey - lessons that deserve a post of their own - but there's one lesson that I learned early on that stands out. In this blog, I talk about why we merged Blendo with RudderStack, building the team and working together to build a great product.

In fact, developers have already started contributing to our documentation. Recently, Benedikt from the Userlist team created the docs for the Userlist destination for RudderStack (see the pull request here). They also built the Userlist integration, submitted a pull request, and it is now live on our platform! This is the beauty of open source!

TLDR: general steps/starting point for setting up an app with Rudderstack ( or Segment) to track customer events

As a part of our SDK roadmap at RudderStack, we wanted to develop a Flutter SDK. Our existing SDKs include features such as storing event details and persisting user details on the database, and much more. However, these features are already implemented in our Android and iOS SDKs.

To load Stripe data into Postgres, you can use platforms such as Stitch Data and Rudderstack. In this guide, we will use Stitch Data because it is a cheap and a fast solution.

With your Tracking Plans in place, you can use the existing Data Governance API's to evaluate your inbound events, payload samples and metadata to compare them against your plans. You can also use the RudderTyper tool we're releasing alongside Tracking Plans. RudderTyper is a tool for generating strongly-typed RudderStack analytics library wrappers based on your published tracking plan specs, meaning your data will conform to your defined schema upon capture.

In my Jekyll install I’ve got a _cards symbolic link to my _posts directory, and in my _config.yml I’ve got a defaults section that looks like this:

So I was building my portfolio site the other day and I decided to use Jekyll.

Regular readers of this blog know that I'm using Jekyll to generate the static site. I'm using GitLab: when I push on the master branch, it triggers the generation job.

As its GitHub home page explains, the purpose of Bookshop is to enable the building of components in the various templating languages used by SSGs. The result meshes seamlessly with CloudCannon. At launch, Bookshop supported the Ruby-based Jekyll and JavaScript-based Eleventy SSGs. It now also supports the Go-based Hugo, with support for more platforms in the works.

Use a tool like Jekyll to easily add a blog to your website. And don’t forget to keep adding new content regularly! (once a week is the minimum!)

My experience is limited but I have heard lots of good things about Jekyll Jekyll Static Site Generator

Using Jekyll? Use either the -H or --host flag with jekyll serve to set the hostname to the desired IP address. To change the port from the default of 4000, use either the -P or --port flag. You also can set these parameters in the project’s configuration file (_config.yml or _config.toml).

Going further in this post, I will be explaining how each of these requirements was satisfied. After exploration and quick googling I found this tool called jekyll, to my surprise, it more of less supported all my requirements (with some additions).

I built it in Jekyll, my static site generator of choice.

Some alternatives I'm considering learning instead of Gatsby are Jeckyll or Hexo.
