ANALYTICS
Velocity5.0

Real-time analytics platform for building data APIs over ClickHouse

Tinybird makes Explorations shareable and tightens viewer and guest permissions.

◆Current state
A week after Classic was switched off for Free and Developer plans, Tinybird's Oct 23 update lets users share Explorations with their whole Workspace. It also adds a Workspace filter to Organization Observability, changes viewer and guest permissions, and ships CLI 5.0.3. Recent weeks brought bulk member removal, secondary indexes, on-demand compute for Copy Pipes and MCP response formats.
◆Where it's heading
With Forward now the only path for smaller plans, Tinybird is adding collaboration and org-admin features around it: sharing, observability filters and role permissions. MCP and query-plan work points to LLM-facing analytics as a second thread.
◆Prediction
Expect further org-level governance (roles, audit, observability) and the Classic sunset to extend to more plan tiers.

    Share Explorations with your Workspace

    Shared Explorations, a Workspace filter on org observability and tighter viewer and guest permissions push Tinybird Forward toward team use. It follows the Classic sunset that moved smaller customers onto Forward.

    Tinybird Classic sunset for Free and Developer plans is today

    The scheduled Classic sunset takes effect for Free and Developer plans, and CLI 5.0.0 raises the minimum to Python 3.11. Smaller users now have only Forward, which finishes much of the migration the recent releases were built around.

    Remove several organization members at once

    Admins can now remove organization members in bulk from the UI or API, dedicated clusters gain protection logs, and failed Sink jobs appear in sinks_ops_log. After weeks of query and ingest tuning, this release shifts to the admin and observability needs of larger accounts.

    Tinybird Local on arm64 requires a 4KiB page size kernel

    Secondary indexes and a configurable deduplication window give users direct control over query speed and ingest semantics, two things they previously had to accept as defaults. The 4KiB page-size requirement for arm64 Local is a real compatibility catch for developers on some ARM Linux hosts, and stricter validation fits the post-Classic cleanup.

    Run scheduled Copy Pipes on on-demand compute

    On-demand compute for scheduled Copy Pipes eliminates the need to pre-provision capacity for batch-style data movement jobs. The single MCP tool for Endpoint calls simplifies the tooling surface for LLM integrations, and job-based remote file imports extend the ingestion API to pull from external URLs directly — a useful complement to the push-based model.

    Choose MCP response formats and inspect query plans

    Configurable MCP output formats give LLM integrations control over response shape, and query plan inspection surfaces execution details that are otherwise opaque. Together they make the MCP tooling more production-ready for LLM workflows that need to tune query behavior rather than accept default outputs.
