Background

Klaviyo operates a real-time data analytics platform coded primarily in Python that is built for massive scale and hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Engineers come to Klaviyo with experience in a variety of languages and from a number of disciplines.

Klaviyo’s Core Data Platform consists of 3 key entities: Profiles (our customer’s customer), Objects (ex: Products & Custom), and Events (the actions taken). Events are the backbone of Klaviyo. Most of our customers view Klaviyo through the lens of events. Events are key to our real time automations, insights and emerging AI feature set.
