Optimizations

This compilation of guides assumes some familiarity with using Tinybird (ingesting data, building query Pipes, publishing API Endpoints), particularly with using Service Data Sources.

The good news is that Tinybird is so fast that even for unoptimized projects, response times are excellent. Many projects, especially younger or smaller ones, don't necessarily or immediately need optimization.

However, it's never too soon, especially because data moves fast. It's better to have 30 ms latency than 300 ms, and better to process less data so your bills are smaller.

About this section

The guides in this Optimizations section curate the best applied knowledge across Tinybird's docs (Best practices for faster SQL), videos (Materialization process saves $40K, Tips and tricks to keep your queries under 100 ms), blog posts (Thinking in Tinybird), and the deep expertise of the Data Engineering and Customer Support teams. It gives you both practical examples and a framework of questions you can ask in your own unique scenario. This combination should empower you with the tools, tips, tricks, and approach to build the best-optimized projects.

So, if you want to feel like Marc, start digging in to the fascinating world of optimizing Tinybird projects.

Optimizations mantra

Tinybird gives you the platform to manage your real-time data. Measure what matters, detect inefficiencies, fix and eliminate common or unusual mistakes, and move faster. Remember, speed wins.
