Tracardi is an open-source, composable, API-first customer data platform engine for building a tailored CDP. It collects behavioral customer data from websites, mobile apps, web services, CRMs, e-commerce shops, CSV files, APIs, queues and databases. It can merge that information into unified profiles and automatically deduplicate customer records. Journey automation supports data collection, engagement, messaging, targeting, recommendations and reminders. Documentation lists integration resources including HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Mautic, Mixpanel, Airtable, RabbitMQ, Slack, Discord and Telegram. Tracardi does not send marketing campaigns, but it can gather consent and subscription data and connect marketing data with other platforms. Deployment documentation describes open-source and commercial Docker installations, plus Helm-based production installation. The production guide lists Redis, Elasticsearch, Apache Pulsar and MySQL as dependencies, and recommends encrypted API connections, separating event collection and GUI APIs, and restricting GUI access to trusted networks. The free open-source plan is limited in event rate, tenancy, automation and event validation. Commercial enterprise and multi-tenant options require contacting the vendor; the latter includes installation and integration support.
