Introducing Jitsu Next (2024)

We're incredibly excited to announce Jitsu Next, the next generation of Jitsu Platform. Jitsu Next is a new product that is built on top of same core technology as Jitsu 1.x, which is now Jitsu Classic

We started the project almost a year ago. It's been in private beta for the last 3 months and we're now ready to open it to the public. Let's dive in into what we have built!

#Unlimited incoming events on all plans

Starting from now, all incoming events are completely free on all plans of Jitsu Cloud. No matter how many events you send to Jitsu, you will not be charged for them. We will only charge for events going out to your data warehouse or other destinations.

Send as many events as you need and control your costs with functions by filtering out events that you don't need.

#New core

Jitsu Next is based on a new core called 🚚 Bulker. Bulker is a standalone open source project that powers Jitsu Next. It's a high performance, low latency, horizontally scalable event processing engine. It's written in Go and uses Apache Kafka as a transport layer.

#Clickhouse, included

ClickHouse is an analytics database for a big data processing. It is available both as a open-source project and cloud service. At Jitsu we are big fans of ClickHouse, and we added ClickHouse support at the very beginning.

We decided to include ClickHouse as a default data warehouse into all Jitsu Cloud plans.Create an account and claim your free ClickHouse instance and query your data from UI directly

#A brand new UI

Jitsu got a brand new UI. It's much more intuitive and easy to use

#New functions engine

We completely redesigned functions engine. It's still based on V8, but now it's much more powerful and flexible. We also added a lot of new features:

Persistent storage. Now functions can persist data between the calls on each event. It opens an endless opportunities for customization: custom sessionization, caching and etc
Command-line SDK. Turn your functions into full-stack Node.js project. Use typescript, unit-test, linter and other tools available for Node.js ecosystem

#Segment compatible API

Jitsu Next JavaScript API is fully compatible with Segment. It also can be used as a drop-in replacement.

Our JavaScript client is based on open-source analytics.js library. Unfortunately, Jitsu Next doesn't support previous versions of API. You'll need to migrate your code to a new library. Fortunately, it's very easy to do. The average migration project won't take more than few hours.
