[SnowcatCloud](https://www.snowcatcloud.com) is a cloud-hosted customer data infrastructure built on the open-source [OpenSnowcat](https://opensnowcat.io) platform (Snowplow fork).

SnowcatCloud empowers teams to collect, enrich, and route first-party behavioral data with full transparency. SnowcatCloud reliably delivers clean data to data warehouses and streaming infrastructure, and integrates with platforms like Amplitude.

> **Note:**
>
> SnowcatCloud's integration with Amplitude is fully **server-side**. Beyond the initial setup, you don't need additional instrumentation or client-side changes to deliver events to Amplitude.

## Set up the integration

To send data from SnowcatCloud to Amplitude:

1. Configure your SnowcatCloud pipeline to use the **Amplitude destination**.
2. Select the **Standard** or **EU residency** Amplitude endpoint.
3. Provide your **Amplitude API key** in the destination configuration.
4. Send a test event.

Key features:

- Batch uploads to Amplitude's HTTP V2 API.
- Automatic field mapping to Amplitude's schema.
- Rich contextual data, including session, geographic, and device information.

## Field mapping overview

SnowcatCloud uses this field mapping to translate enriched events into Amplitude-compatible payloads:
