What is Tinybird?
For developers, building a scalable, real-time analytics backend is often a complex infrastructure project that slows down product development. Tinybird solves this by providing a complete platform built on managed ClickHouse®, enabling you to ingest massive data streams and publish high-performance analytics APIs in minutes. It's the fastest way to ship data-intensive features without getting bogged down in backend boilerplate.
Key Features
🚀 Query Billions of Rows in Milliseconds Leverage the raw power of ClickHouse, one of the world's fastest open-source analytics databases, without the operational overhead. Tinybird expertly manages the scaling, security, and maintenance of your database cluster. This allows you to focus on building valuable features, confident that your queries will return in milliseconds, even across massive datasets.
⚡️ Publish APIs Directly from SQL Turn any SQL query into a secure, production-ready, and scalable API endpoint with a single command. Tinybird automatically handles the boilerplate of API creation, including dynamic parameterization, OpenAPI documentation, and performance optimization. This unique capability means you can move from data to a live, queryable endpoint for your application in minutes, not weeks.
📡 Stream Data via Simple HTTP or Kafka Forget complex ingestion pipelines. Tinybird provides a high-throughput Events API, allowing you to stream millions of events per second directly from your applications via a simple HTTP POST request. For existing event-driven architectures, the native Kafka connector provides seamless integration, making real-time data collection truly effortless.
💻 Embrace a "Data as Code" Workflow Define your entire data project—schemas, transformations, and endpoints—in plain text files. This developer-centric approach allows you to use Git for version control, validate changes on your machine with the Tinybird CLI and local Docker container, and integrate seamlessly into your existing CI/CD pipelines for reliable, automated deployments.
How Tinybird Solves Your Problems:
For User-Facing Analytics: You need to embed a real-time dashboard in your SaaS application. Instead of spending months building a custom data backend, you can use Tinybird to ingest user activity, write a SQL query to aggregate the metrics, and publish it as an API. Your application can call this endpoint to display low-latency analytics directly to your customers.
For Real-Time Observability: Your team needs to monitor application performance with minimal latency. With Tinybird, you can ingest OpenTelemetry data or custom logs, use SQL to define performance metrics and anomaly detection rules, and expose them as endpoints for Grafana dashboards or alerting systems.
For IoT & Telemetry: You're building a fleet management platform that tracks thousands of devices. Use the Events API to ingest location data in real time. With materialized views pre-aggregating the data, your APIs can power live maps and operational dashboards with sub-second response times, effortlessly scaling as your fleet grows.
Why Choose Tinybird?
The core advantage of Tinybird lies in its holistic, developer-centric design. While other solutions might offer a managed database, Tinybird provides the complete, integrated toolchain—from local development and version control to instant API publishing. This eliminates what would otherwise be a complex and costly infrastructure project.
As Guy Needham, Staff Backend Engineer at Canva, puts it: "I've worked with quite a few different data stacks, and I truly don't think we could have shipped what we have without Tinybird. We have achieved in a few days what would have taken ages with any other tooling."
This focus on developer velocity is why engineering teams at companies like Vercel, FanDuel, and Resend rely on Tinybird to power their data products.
Conclusion:
Tinybird is the definitive platform for developers who need to build and ship high-performance, real-time analytics features without the traditional infrastructure tax. By integrating a world-class database with a seamless, code-native development experience, it empowers you to deliver tangible value to your users faster than ever before.
