Tinybird provides a variety of real-time data ingestion methods, mainly supports the following three core mechanisms:
- Kafka Native Connectors: You can stream Kafka topic data directly into the Tinybird data source using the command
- S3/GCS Batch Import: Support for importing file data from Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage with wildcards and timed imports
- HTTP Events API: sends event data directly through HTTP endpoints, suitable for various customized application scenarios
Specific realization steps:
- First you need to configure the data source. For example, connect to Kafka with a CLI command:
- For S3 imports, multiple files can be specified using wildcard patterns:
- To send data directly through the Events API, use a cURL request or the SDK
Tinybird's data ingestion architecture is designed for real-time processing, so that data is immediately available for querying and analysis upon arrival. The platform automatically handles data partitioning and storage optimization, so developers only need to focus on extracting value from the data itself.
