Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and Tinybird

Connect Google Cloud Spanner and Tinybird with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want Google Cloud Spanner's rows in Tinybird, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in Google Cloud Spanner where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Google Cloud Spanner sync into Tinybird in real time, and result tables in Tinybird sync back into Google Cloud Spanner, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
  • Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • Push billing or entitlement changes from finance tools into Spanner tables the application reads at runtime.
  • Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Tinybird and keep Google Cloud Spanner focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Google Cloud Spanner land in Tinybird as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Tinybird sync into Google Cloud Spanner, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Google Cloud Spanner and Tinybird

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Google Cloud Spanner objects Tinybird objects
Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird.
Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results.
Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface.
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource.

How the Google Cloud Spanner and Tinybird connectors work

Google Cloud Spanner

Integration surface
gRPC/REST client API with SQL query surface (GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL-interface dialects)
Authentication
Google Cloud IAM (service accounts)
Change detection
Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.

Tinybird

Integration surface
REST API (Events API for ingestion, published query endpoints) with a ClickHouse SQL dialect
Authentication
Scoped auth tokens
Change detection
Append-oriented ingestion; reads are pulled by querying published endpoints, no outbound CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.
