Plus, these features are fully extensible, as they take advantage of the open platform that Segment has already built with our leading destinations catalog and Developer Center for companies to build their own integrations. This allows any customer to customize and expand the capabilities of their Reverse ETL pipelines, and to integrate them with other systems and platforms.
