Shovel

Like a little Snowplow without the mechanics :)

Experimental Serverless port of the Snowplow stack, powered by AWS Lambda, Kinesis and API Gateway.

THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE AND ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT USABLE IN PRODUCTION. See below for a full list of caveats

NOTE: This is an unofficial, community-contributed application not affiliated with Snowplow Analytics Ltd or the official Snowplow project.

Quick start

Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:acgray/shovel.git

Deploy the application:

sbt assembly && serverless deploy

That's it! You can initialize trackers using the API gateway endpoint returned by the serverless command (N.B. you must include the stage name, dev by default.) For example:

<script type="text/javascript" async=1>
;(function(p,l,o,w,i,n,g){if(!p[i]){p.GlobalSnowplowNamespace=p.GlobalSnowplowNamespace||[];
p.GlobalSnowplowNamespace.push(i);p[i]=function(){(p[i].q=p[i].q||[]).push(arguments)
};p[i].q=p[i].q||[];n=l.createElement(o);g=l.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];n.async=1;
n.src=w;g.parentNode.insertBefore(n,g)}}(window,document,"script","//d1fc8wv8zag5ca.cloudfront.net/2.9.0/sp.js","snowplow"));
    window.snowplow('newTracker', 'default', 'XXXXXXX.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev', {
        appId: 'test',
        forceSecureTracker: true,
        post: true
    });
    window.snowplow('trackPageView');
    </script>

Caveats

This is alpha software and almost certainly not usable in production.

In particular, the following Snowplow features are not yet implemented:

• Custom Iglu schemas (only Iglu central events are supported)
• Custom enrichments
• GeoIP enrichment
• Webhooks
• Graceful handling of bad collector requests
• Graceful handling of Kinesis failures
• Snowplow monitoring
• 3rd party cookies (network_userid)
• Redirects
• Any sinks other than Kinesis
