Getting started analyzing SnowPlow data

HOME > SNOWPLOW SETUP GUIDE > Step 5: Get started analyzing Snowplow data

Now you have your Snowplow data being generated and loaded into S3 and potentially also Amazon Redshift, you can start to analyse that data.

Because Snowplow gives you access to incredibly granular, event-level and customer-level data, the possible analyses you can perform on that data is endless.

As part of this setup guide, we provide details on how to get started analysing that data. There are many other resources we are building out (notably the [Analytics Cookbook] analyst-cookbook) that go into much more detail.

The first three guides cover using different tools (ChartIO, Tableau and R) to analyze Snowplow data in Redshift. The fourth guide covers how to analyze Snowplow data in S3 using Elastic Mapreduce and Apache Hive specifically, as an easy-introduction to EMR more generally.
