About Tinybird
Every weekly release now pushes Forward further ahead of Classic before the September sunset.
Tinybird ships a descriptive weekly changelog, and the current window is dominated by ingestion. Remote files can now be imported through the v1 API to append or replace Data Source rows, v1 ingestion became the default for local files a week after arriving as experimental, and JSON integer handling was corrected. Reliability work runs alongside it: quarantined data persists across compatible deployments, and deployment backfills and validation got fixes.
