You need to validate complicated optimization ideas, it's seems to be fine extracting data from documents you already have, ask for missing info / documents and calculating numbers

Yes, just add more jitsu nodes. It's hard to answer how many nodes do you need (depends on transformations, CPU/RAM/etc), but you can count on thousands request per second per node at least

That's what the website missing indeed. We have a few words about that in docs, but it's still not enough https://jitsu.com/docs/internals/jitsu-server#mapping-step

Overall, Jitsu tries to decompose (aka flatten) JSON as deep as possible. E.g. {a: {b:1, c:2}} will become a_b=1, a_c=2. If column is missing, it will be created. We don't decompose arrays so far

Two reasons a) you can push events from your apps b) if you want to have more connectors available (Singer, and few native connectors)

Mixpanel will store the data for you and do visualization. Jitsu just help you to get you data to your data warehouse.

Downside: you'll need to build all visualization by yourself. Fortunately that's easy with tools such as Looker, Mode, Metabase etc

Upside: you can do with your data whatever you want - built any reports, join with other datasets etc. You not limited by reports MixPanel team build.

In reality, Jitsu and MixPanel could co-exist. Jitsu support s MixPanel as a destination (e.g. you send data to Jitsu ; Jitsu sends it to MixPanel and data warehouse).
