An event is a data point generated by a website, app, server, or cloud application. For example, let’s say you’re browsing a website. When the page loads, that generates a page call that counts as 1 event.

Event limit overages are handled based on your plan.

• If you’re on the ​Free plan​, data processing will stop after your second consecutive overage. You can upgrade your plan at any time to ensure continuous data processing.
• If you’re on the ​Starter plan​, you’ll be charged overage fees once you exceed your plan’s event limit. The overage fee is calculated as the difference between the next tier’s pricing and your current plan’s pricing.

For more details, see our plan and billing management documentation.

Yes, we actively contribute to our self-hosted code as you can see on our GitHub page. The self-hosted project is released under Elastic 2.0. The core data processing layer is the same for both the Community and Enterprise edition. The Enterprise edition comes with some more advanced reporting & clustering features, but those are built on top of the data plane.

We don’t offer dedicated support, but we have a very active community on Slack where you can ask any questions. Join us here! If you’re on any of our paid plans, you'll have some level of support from our team. If you are on the Enterprise plan, you will have an account manager and a dedicated Slack channel.

RudderStack was founded in 2019 by a team of engineers with experience in customer data. The company has received funding from Insight Partners, Kleiner Perkins and S28 Capital. Visit our about page to learn more.

RudderStack is warehouse-first and built for developers. Our goal is to help you build your customer data platform on top of your own data warehouse. We think your customer data should not live in a data silo where you need to run complex functions inside of a black box. For an in depth comparison, see our RudderStack vs Segment guide.
