Alpha feature details

Git-based data governance

You can now manage your data catalog and tracking plans as code. See the release note to watch a demo and checkout the documentation to get started.

Git-based workflows are a key focus area for the product team, so please reach out with questions and feedback.

Copy tracking plans across workspaces

We’re actively working on a number of features that will help you version control tracking plans within the context of a full development workflow, but in the meantime we’ve built an basic feature you can use to copy tracking plans across workspaces in the UI.

There are two options for how to copy a tracking plan:

1. Copy as a new Tracking Plan: This will copy the tracking plan as a net new plan in the target workspace. Note that any new events and properties will be copied into the the Data Catalog of the target workspace.
2. Copy and replace an existing Tracking Plan: This will replace an existing tracking plan and connect the migrated plan to the same sources. The original Tracking Plan will be kept and renamed.

Use Option 2 with caution. This is an alpha feature and the action cannot be rolled back.

Reach out and the team can enable this feature for you.

Kafka source

Our Kafka Source enables you to ingest messages from a Kafka stream directly into RudderStack. This can be useful for:

• Applying data governance for behavioral event data.
• Streaming Kafka messages to out-of-the-box cloud integrations.

If you’re interested in streaming data from a system like Kafka, RedPanda, or other messaging queues into RudderStack, reach out and our team would love to learn more.

You can test this source today. Check out the Kafka Source documentation for details.
