  • Functionality: Does it work?
  • Documentation: Is it easy to understand what you did?
  • Performance: Are queries optimized?
  • Aesthetics: Does it look nice?
  • Gravity: Does it pull us in with wonder and amazement?

What is Tinybird?
Tinybird is a platform that lets you ingest data, shape it with SQL, and publish the results as REST APIs. There aren’t any SDKs or libraries to learn, just use whatever you’re comfortable with to interact with APIs over HTTP.
