BlueKai

BlueKai is a cloud-based big data platform that enables companies to personalize online, offline, and mobile marketing campaigns. The service provides an /export endpoint which when POSTed to instructs the service to transfer new records from Janrain to a BlueKai SFTP server in a TSV file format. An external service is then reposible for importing the TSV file into BlueKai. The intent is to have a time based service, such as a CRON job, trigger the export by POSTing to the /export endpoint. The service is designed to be deployed in an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Application and is configured via environment variables.

If problems arise during the process of pushing data into BlueKai you can look at the log file for visibility, open a Github Issue or contact Janrain Support (https://support.janrain.com).
