This is a really cool product. Very impressive that you were able to build to many integrations with such a small team. Any advice on how you did that?

Thanks!
The secret is that most APIs that accept event data are pretty much identical. They have some method or endpoint where you send a JSON dictionary of properties. Once we had had the core event processing down, it wasn't hard to quickly add a lot of integrations.

Ah, interesting...
I've looked a bit at CRM integrations and they all do things slightly differently in ways that make it hard to factor out common pieces. Glad to hear that isn't the case in the event data space.

How many of these are real? I don't care how efficient you are as a team. I see 50+ integrations and one engineer on the team, on top of a complicated base product.
Color me suspicious...

Not vaporware! All of our integrations listed are all real and can be used today.

Similar question to the grandparent - wondering how you go about maintaining a relatively large catalog of integrations with limited resources (I worked at an integration platform as a service company and remember maintenance of those to be the most resource intensive part of the product)
