Tracardi
What it is
Tracardi is an open-source, API-first customer data platform engine for building a tailored CDP. It gathers behavioral data from websites, mobile apps, web services, CRMs, online shops, CSV files, APIs, queues, and databases, then combines records into unified customer profiles and can automatically deduplicate them. Journey automation supports data collection, engagement, messaging, targeting, product recommendations, and reminders. Documented integration resources include HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Mautic, Mixpanel, Airtable, RabbitMQ, Slack, Discord, and Telegram. Tracardi does not send marketing campaigns, but it can gather consent and subscription data and connect marketing data with other platforms. Deployment documentation describes Docker installations and Helm-based production installation; production setup lists Redis, Elasticsearch, Apache Pulsar, and MySQL as dependencies. The free open-source version costs nothing and is limited by event rate, single tenancy, automation, and event validation.
