Tinybird Has a Free Real-Time Analytics API — Query Billions of Rows in Milliseconds

Tinybird is a real-time analytics platform that turns raw data into API endpoints using SQL.

What You Get for Free (Free Tier)

• 10GB storage — enough for millions of events
• Unlimited API calls — no rate limits on reads
• SQL-based — write SQL, get an instant API endpoint
• Real-time ingestion — stream data via HTTP, Kafka, or S3
• ClickHouse under the hood — columnar storage, blazing-fast aggregations
• Materialized views — pre-compute expensive queries
• API endpoints — parameterized SQL queries as REST APIs
• Dashboard — built-in charting and monitoring

Quick Start

# Ingest data
curl -X POST 'https://api.tinybird.co/v0/events?name=page_views' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
  -d '{"url": "/pricing", "country": "US", "ts": "2026-03-28"}'

# Create an API endpoint (SQL → REST)
# SELECT country, count() as views FROM page_views GROUP BY country
# Publish as: GET /v0/pipes/views_by_country.json

Why Developers Switch from BigQuery/Redshift

Traditional warehouses aren't built for real-time:

• Millisecond queries — vs 5-30 seconds on BigQuery
• No infrastructure — fully managed, no clusters
• SQL → API — write SQL, get an endpoint, no backend needed
• Streaming ingestion — data available instantly, not batch-loaded

A marketing team waited 30 seconds per BigQuery dashboard load. After Tinybird: same data, same SQL, 50ms response time. Their real-time dashboard now auto-refreshes every second.
