Why teams connect TimescaleDB and Tinybird

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

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in TimescaleDB sync into Tinybird in real time, and result tables in Tinybird sync back into TimescaleDB, 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.
  • Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

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

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

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

What you can sync between TimescaleDB 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.

TimescaleDB objects Tinybird objects
Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync.
Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource.
Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird.
Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results.
Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface.
Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time.

How the TimescaleDB and Tinybird connectors work

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

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.
