Introduction¶
What is Tinybird?¶
Tinybird provides you with an easy way to ingest, query and publish your data so you can focus on building beautiful, and powerful, applications.
You can bring data from many different sources into Tinybird; streams over HTTP, Kafka topics, import from Warehouses or upload files.
Once ingested, you can write SQL to transform, aggregate, join and do pretty much anything you can achieve in SQL. Rather than writing huge, monstrous queries that are hard to maintain, you can break your queries into multiple, small statements and chain them together.
With the SQL out of the way, you can publish the results of your queries as standard REST APIs at the click of a button. Your APIs can accept user inputs (query parameters), are secured by auth tokens, have auto-generated documentation & capture all of the observability data.

Creating your account¶
You can create an account with your Google, Microsoft or GitHub accounts or your email address.
After you create your account, you’ll be prompted to choose a region to work in. There are two regions, EU and US, and you’re welcome to pick the region that works best for you.
You’ll then be asked to set your Workspace name; you can call it whatever you want, though you’ll usually want to name it after what you are building.
