Tinybird Local container¶

We are launching Tinybird Local, a free Docker image that replicates the service we provide in the Cloud. Pull the Docker image, and you'll have a local version of Tinybird!

Use Tinybird Local when you want to:

• Test your app or service locally.
• Add it to your CI/CD pipeline.
• Run things locally because you prefer it.

If you require connectors or other advanced capabilities, let us know, it'll help us improve the Docker image.

See the docs for installation instructions.

Switch regions from the command bar¶

When you press the s key in Tinybird, the command bar opens and you can search for the resource you are looking for, such as data source, pipes, and so on. Now, you can also search for the region you want to switch to.

Use job_timestamp instead of now() in Copy Pipes¶

Jobs run asynchronously, so now() in a Copy Pipe can vary greatly from the time the job was scheduled depending on the queue state at launch time, which at peak times and in shared environments can be a few seconds.

To avoid this, you can use the job_timestamp column, which is the timestamp of the job launch time, instead of the execution time. We have updated the Copy Pipe best practices to recommend this.

Improvements and bug fixes¶

• Fixed a bug where maximum active Copy Jobs were not being limited when running in Branches. The normal Copy Pipe limits are now being applied.
