More than just ClickHouse® in the Cloud

Tinybird is a managed ClickHouse service for AI-native software teams. Get the performance of ClickHouse without the pain of managing it, and focus on shipping your use case, not scaling a new database.

Tinybird is to ClickHouse what Supabase is to Postgres. One of my all-time favorite dev tools.

Instant APIs. Just add SQL

Every SQL query is a click away from becoming a scalable, low‑latency REST API Endpoint.
  • Fully hosted APIs, transparently scaled
  • No need to build an additional API backend
  • Automatically-generated OpenAPI docs
  • Define query parameters in SQL
  • RBAC via scoped tokens or custom JWTs
  • Queryable API request logs included for free

Automatically handled schema migrations

Schema changes in ClickHouse are a pain, but not with Tinybird. Migrate your schema in production with zero downtime, even with massive tables and streaming ingestion.
  • Define a new schema and deploy with a command
  • Automatic data migration
  • No data loss
  • No worrying about triggering materialized views
  • No need to create or manage auxiliary tables

Tooling for AI‑natives

This isn't just text-to-SQL. Tinybird includes features for AI-native builders to create resources, explore data, optimize schemas, and fine-tune SQL.
  • Hosted, remote MCP server
  • Explore tables, generate SQL, query your data
  • Every API is an MCP tool
  • Tinybird Code, a ClickHouse-tuned CLI agent

tb (sample_project) » Analyze my endpoint performance in production, find unoptimized queries, and optimize them.
I'll analyze your endpoint performance in production and identify optimization opportunities. Let me start by getting stats for each of your endpoints.
» Analyzing cloud requests in the last 7 days for 'driver_performance' endpoint
✓ Done!
» Analyzing cloud requests in the last 7 days for 'fleet_status' endpoint
✓ Done!
» Analyzing cloud requests in the last 7 days for 'vehicle_maintenance' endpoint
✓ Done!
Based on the endpoint performance data, I can see some optimization opportunities:
Performance Analysis Summary
1. **driver_performance**: High data scanning (8.1M bytes, 140K rows read) - processing large amounts of data
2. **fleet_status**: Zero read bytes/rows but still has CPU time - potential inefficiency
3. **vehicle_maintenance**: Moderate data scanning (5.2M bytes, 110K rows)

ClickHouse is super fast, but it's just super complex. There's so many things to handle. When I learned about Tinybird, I said 'This is it. This is what I want.'

Streaming ingestion, solved

Just post JSON to the Events API, and Tinybird handles load balancing, compute-compute separation, and streaming ingestion to the database.

Built-in observability

Every query, API request, table insert, and job log is stored in automatically-generated log tables that you can query for free. Build observability APIs at no extra cost. Prometheus format and ClickHouse HTTP compatibility.
