Snowplow Micro has long lived in the shadow of its bigger cousin, Snowplow Mini. But it’s a very handy tool, and we think more people should use it!
If you haven’t heard of Micro before, check out the brand new getting started guide: Setting up Snowplow Micro locally | Snowplow Documentation. Even if you are a seasoned Micro user, you might discover some tips and tricks.
In the last two releases we’ve added a few useful features.
New in 1.5.0. Easily connect to a custom Iglu registry with just 2 environment variables
