Every weekly release now pushes Forward further ahead of Classic before the September sunset.

◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
The Classic-to-Forward migration is the organizing fact, and the September 15 sunset for Free and Developer plans set the clock. Nearly every capability in this window lands on Forward or on the v1 surface, while Classic receives limits adjustments rather than features. Ingestion is where the investment is concentrated, moving from experimental to default in weeks.
◆Prediction
Expect the v1 ingestion surface to keep absorbing sources — remote URLs now, likely more managed connectors next — and the remaining gaps in deployment and backfill reliability to close ahead of the sunset. The paid tiers still have no announced Classic end date.

◆Recent moves

  1. 5d ago

    Append and replace Data Source rows from URLs

    Remote files can be imported through the v1 API to append or replace Data Source rows, removing a step for anyone loading from object storage or a URL. It extends the v1 ingestion surface that became the local-file default a week earlier, and ships with Forward deployment backfill and validation fixes.

    Persistent quarantine data and workspace usage trends

    Quarantined data now survives across compatible deployments, closing a gap where redeploying discarded the record of what failed to ingest. Seven-day workspace usage trends arrive alongside a batch of ingestion, deployment and UI fixes, continuing the reliability work that has accompanied the Forward push.

    v1 local file ingestion is now the default

    v1 ingestion becomes the default for local files just one week after appearing as experimental in the CLI, which is an unusually fast promotion and a signal of how central ingestion is right now. Conditional TTLs, live data-movement progress during deployments and a unified backfill job type land with it.

    JSON ingestion preserves integer values

    JSON ingestion stops mangling integer values, a correctness fix that matters more than its one-line description suggests for anyone whose numbers silently changed type. The release also raises Classic to three mutations per alter and extends real-time Pipe statistics to three months.

    Tinybird Classic sunset for Free and Developer plans

    ⚡ SPARK

    This is the entry that converts the Forward migration from a direction into a deadline, at least for the smallest tiers. It sits in a clear sequence with the BI Connector end of life and the migrate-to-forward CLI, and it explains why so much recent work targets Forward exclusively.

    Improved branch-based local development

    Branch-based local development improves and sink jobs are placed according to load. Both are workflow gains for teams already on Forward rather than new surface area.
