How to Get Started
[01] Deploy the OpenTelemetry Template
Deploy the pre-configured Tinybird OpenTelemetry template with optimized schemas for high-performance observability.
# Run this command in your terminal:
tb --cloud deploy \
--template https://github.com/tinybirdco/tinybird-otel-template/tree/main/
[02] Instrument your application
Use standard logging libraries or OpenTelemetry SDKs and deploy the Tinybird OpenTelemetry exporter to start sending log events to Tinybird.
Python
pip install opentelemetry-distro opentelemetry-exporter-otlp
export OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="my-service"
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="http://otel-collector:4318"
export OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER="otlp"
export OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION="true"
opentelemetry-instrument python app.py
[03] Connect to Grafana, HyperDX, and more
Use Tinybird's native ClickHouse HTTP interface to integrate with your preferred observability, visualization, and alerting tools.
The Industry‑-Standard Observability Stack, Simplified
Managed Data Ingestion
The Tinybird OpenTelemetry Exporter uses the Events API, a high‑performance HTTP streaming endpoint that handles ingestion throughput and load balancing. No worrying about batching or ingestion limits. Stream logs at thousands of events per second with zero extra config.
Sub‑Second Dashboards & Alerts
Query petabytes of logs with sub‑second latency. Build custom APIs with Prometheus format or connect to your preferred observability platform via our ClickHouse‑compatible HTTP interface.
OpenTelemetry Native
First‑class support for the industry standard observability protocol. The Tinybird OTel Exporter is included in the official OpenTelemetry Collector contrib. Instrument with standard logging libraries and SDKs to instantly capture traces, logs, and metrics from your application.
Ship Faster, Maintain Less
/Fully‑Managed Database and Ingestion
Other ClickHouse-based observability stacks require you to manage a ClickHouse cluster, balance ingestion load, and maintain complex deployments. Tinybird handles everything. Focus on your application, not your observability infrastructure.
/Universal Compatibility
Connect to Grafana, HyperDX, Superset, or any tool that supports the ClickHouse HTTP interface. Your existing observability tools work with Tinybird.
