What is Trench?

Trench is an open source analytics infrastructure designed to provide fast, scalable, and GDPR-compliant event tracking and data querying. Built by a team with experience at scale and backed by Y Combinator, it combines proven technologies like Kafka and ClickHouse into a production-ready system that supports massive throughput and lightning-fast SQL or REST queries. Trench supports industry standards such as Segment's Track, Identify, and Group specifications, enabling seamless integration with existing workflows. It is suitable for organizations that need to track thousands of events per second on a single node and want full control over their data infrastructure. Users can self-host on any cloud provider or opt for a managed cloud service, making it flexible for different deployment preferences. Its open source nature and community support make it an attractive choice for developers and data teams focused on scalable, compliant analytics solutions.
