SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 12, 2010 — SnapLogic, the DataFlow pioneer, today announced that it is kicking off its first-ever SnapStore Developer Challenge, a contest for developers creating “Snaps,” the connectors, pipelines, and data transformations available in the company’s SnapStore online marketplace. Each qualified entrant will receive an Amazon Kindle, and the developer of the best Snap will receive a $5,000 cash prize and a one-hour meeting with leading venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. More information about the SnapLogic Developer Challenge, including registration information and full contest rules, is available at: http://www.snaplogic.com/l/snapstore-developer-challenge

Snaps enable rapid and easy solutions to data integration challenges using the SnapLogic DataFlow integration platform. Developers can create Snaps using the DataFlow API (“SnAPI”) and offer them for sale in the SnapStore. Developers and other participants receive 70% of the proceeds from the sale of Snaps.

To be eligible for the contest, a developer must submit a Snap with one or more components that adds a read or write capability between an application API and SnapLogic 2.1 or SnapLogic 2.2. The submission must include example pipelines and demonstrate the use of components, as well as documentation for the installation and use of the Snap.
