# Learn Tinybird

## What you'll build

In this tutorial, you'll build a multi-tenant SaaS analytics project.

Imagine you're a developer __building a multitenant ecommerce SaaS__ that is growing like crazy. You’re set to be the new Shopify, and you need to __give analytics to your users__, the merchants: a real-time view of how much they are selling and a feature for real-time recommendations in their shops.

You'll learn how to:

- Set up your local environment
- Define how to ingest data to your project
- Create API endpoints to expose the analytical features
- Validate your data project
- Deploy it to Tinybird Cloud

## Prerequisites

- A Tinybird account. If you don't already have a Tinybird account, you can create one at [cloud.tinybird.co](https://cloud.tinybird.co/signup) -- it's free!
- Basic SQL knowledge
- Tinybird CLI and Tinybird Local container installed on your machine. [See Tinybird Forward installation](/forward/install-tinybird#install-tinybird-on-your-machine)
