Events API now supports JSON format

You can now send single JSON events to the Events API. This is useful for ingesting events from external systems that use JSON format, like Stripe webhooks. For example:

curl \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <import_token>" \
    -d $'{ \
          "date": "2020-04-05 00:05:38", \
          "city": "Chicago" \
        }' \
    'https://api.tinybird.co/v0/events?name=events_json&format=json'

Hints on unused entities

To facilitate detection of unused entities, such as parameters or nodes, we've introduced new visual indicators in the UI. These indicators spotlight parameters that aren’t used by any node, as well as nodes that aren’t referenced by another node within a Pipe.

New AWS region available

You can now use a new AWS region in Tinybird: eu-west-1(Ireland).

Select it from the region menu or directly by going to https://app.tinybird.co/aws/eu-west-1.

Use templates to start a new project

You can now use one of the existing templates to get started quickly. See the Templates page for more information. This replaces starter kits.

Additionally, you can now deploy a Tinybird data project from a GitHub repository by opening a special URL: https://app.tinybird.co?starter_kit=https://github.com/<organization>/<repository>/<tinybird-data-project-folder>.

New ingest guides

We've published lots of new guides to ingest data from different sources:

JSON data type available in private beta

The JSON data type is now available exclusively in private beta. This adjustment allows us to work more closely with selected users to refine the feature and ensure it delivers the best possible experience. If you’re interested in early access, reach out Tinybird support.
