# Quickstarts

Tinybird is a data platform that provides infrastructure and tooling to build, deploy, and iterate data projects at any scale. For a deeper overview, see [Core concepts](/forward/get-started/concepts).

Pick a quickstart based on how you want to build with Tinybird.

## Not sure where to start?

- Prefer SQL-first workflows and datafiles: start with [Tinybird CLI](/forward/quickstarts/cli).
- Want typed resources and a TypeScript-native workflow: start with [TypeScript SDK](/forward/quickstarts/typescript-sdk).
- Want Python-native resource definitions and runtime usage: start with [Python SDK](/forward/quickstarts/python-sdk).
