# Ingest guides

Tinybird provides multiple ways to bring data into the platform. While [native connectors](./connectors) offer the most streamlined experience, you can use the Ingest APIs and other mechanisms to bring data from virtually any source.

Each guide provides step-by-step instructions and best practices for setting up reliable data ingestion pipelines. Whether you're working with batch files, streaming events, or database synchronization, you can find examples of how to effectively bring that data into Tinybird.
