Self‑hosted real‑time data pipeline, Segment alternative for modern data teams
Jitsu lets you collect events from websites, apps, and servers, then stream them to warehouses like BigQuery, Snowflake, or ClickHouse. Self‑hosted, scriptable, and deployable via Docker Compose.

Jitsu is a self‑hosted data ingestion platform designed for engineering and data teams that need full control over event collection and routing. It captures events from web, mobile, and server sources and streams them directly into popular data warehouses.
Built on the Bulker engine, Jitsu offers real‑time, low‑latency loading with a flexible, scriptable pipeline. It supports multiple SDKs—including an HTML snippet, React/Next.js, an isomorphic Node.js package, HTTP API, and a Segment proxy—so you can integrate virtually any source. A broad destination catalog covers ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres, and more.
The quickest start is a Docker Compose setup; production environments can scale with Kubernetes or other container orchestrators. For teams preferring a managed service, Jitsu Cloud provides a free tier with up to 200k events per month and a hosted ClickHouse instance.
When teams consider Jitsu, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Web analytics pipeline
Capture page view and click events from a website and load them into ClickHouse for real‑time dashboards.
Mobile app event tracking
Send app usage events via the HTTP API to Jitsu, which forwards them to BigQuery for downstream BI.
Server‑side transaction logging
Node.js services emit purchase events through the Jitsu NPM package, storing them in Snowflake for ETL pipelines.
Legacy system migration
Use the Segment proxy to route existing Segment calls to Jitsu, preserving data flow while eliminating third‑party costs.
Yes, the core platform is released under the MIT license and can be self‑hosted at no cost; a managed cloud tier is also available with a free tier.
Jitsu includes native connectors for ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres and others listed in the destination catalog.
The recommended method is Docker Compose; production deployments can use Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms following the self‑hosting guide.
It provides equivalent event collection APIs (HTML snippet, SDKs, HTTP API, Segment proxy) and can forward to the same destinations, making it a drop‑in replacement for many use cases.
Bulker is the ingestion engine behind Jitsu; it handles high‑throughput, low‑latency loading of events into warehouses and can be used standalone for custom pipelines.
