About Tracardi
Tracardi is an open-source, API-first Customer Data Platform (CDP) that ingests, unifies, and stores customer data from multiple sources — web, mobile, CRMs, e-commerce, IoT, and APIs — into a single real-time customer profile. It provides a low-code workflow automation engine that triggers personalized marketing actions, segmentation, and engagement flows based on customer events. Positioned as an affordable, self-hostable alternative to commercial CDPs like Segment and RudderStack.
