Why teams connect TiDB and Tinybird

Connect TiDB 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 TiDB'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 TiDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

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

Common use cases

  • Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
  • Compute aggregates in Tinybird and write the results back to CRM fields for scoring and routing.
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

Offload heavy reads

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

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from TiDB 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 TiDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between TiDB 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.

TiDB objects Tinybird objects
Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface.
Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time.
Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync.
Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource.
Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird.

How the TiDB and Tinybird connectors work

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas

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.
How it works
