Playgrounds

Prototype queries, debug pipelines, and explore data interactively. Write SQL, visualize results, and export data in JSON or CSV.
Play

Interactive query prototyping

Build and iterate on queries in a multi-node editor. Chain SQL nodes together to prototype complex pipelines before deploying.

AI-assisted SQL

Generate and refine queries with CMD+K. AI understands your schema and suggests fixes, helping you debug pipelines faster.

Visualize and export

See query results as tables. Export data in JSON or CSV to use in external tools or share with your team.

Time Series

Monitor endpoint performance and track trends over time. Visualize any time-based data source, including service data sources, without writing SQL.
Play

Visual monitoring

Track endpoint latency, error rates, and request volumes over time. Visualize any data source, including service data sources like pipe_stats_rt, without writing SQL.

Granularity & zoom

Granularity auto-adjusts to your time range. Drag-to-zoom into any period for a closer look, syncing automatically with the time selector.

Track trends over time

Compare metrics side by side with table and chart views. Monitor storage consumption, request patterns, and resource usage across your workspace.

Explorations

An AI agent with full context of your data. Reference sources with @syntax, customize behavior with workspace rules, and export reasoning nodes to Playgrounds.
Play

AI agent with full context

Use @syntax to reference specific data sources and add workspace rules to fine-tune how the agent responds. The more context it has, the more accurate its answers.

Insights and diagnostics

Get improvement suggestions, identify performance bottlenecks, and surface data quality issues. Focus on intelligent analysis, not visualization.

Export to Playgrounds

Reasoning nodes created during analysis can be exported to Playgrounds. Continue refining queries in a full SQL environment.

FAQs

What is the Overview page?

The Overview page is your workspace dashboard. It shows resource summaries with counts for datasources, endpoints, materializations, connections, pipes, copies, and sinks. It also includes sparkline charts for vCPU time, requests, and ingested rows over a 7-day window, the last deployment status, and quick access to API hosts, MCP server URLs, and BI tool connection parameters.

What is the Resources page?

The Resources page is a unified table view of all your workspace resources with inline metrics like status, request count, error count, and average latency. It features composable filters to narrow down by type, deployment ID, connection, errors, or usage metrics. You can also use natural language to find resources, toggle between list and lineage views, and open a split-screen detail panel to inspect any resource without losing your place. The Resources page also gives you access to service datasources (pipe_stats_rt, endpoint_errors, datasources_storage, kafka_ops_log, and more) and ClickHouse system.* tables. Queries against service datasources are free.

What is the Deployments page?

The Deployments page shows a chronological view of all your releases. Click into any deployment to see exactly what changed, including a SQL diff viewer that highlights changes down to specific lines. You can compare resource definitions side by side and see contextual details like API URLs and schema changes.

What is Playgrounds used for?

Playgrounds is for prototyping and debugging queries. Write SQL in a multi-node editor, chain nodes together to build complex pipelines, and use AI (CMD+K) to generate or refine SQL. You can inspect results as tables and export data in JSON or CSV.

What is Time Series used for?

Time Series is for monitoring endpoint performance and tracking trends over time. Visualize data sources — including service data sources like pipe_stats_rt, endpoint_errors, and datasources_storage — without writing SQL. Granularity adjusts automatically to your selected time range, and you can drag to zoom into specific periods to investigate incidents or observe patterns.

What is Explorations used for?

Explorations is an AI agent with full context of your data. Use @syntax to reference specific data sources and add workspace rules to customize how the agent responds. It identifies performance bottlenecks, surfaces data quality issues, and provides actionable insights. Reasoning nodes from the analysis can be exported to Playgrounds for further refinement.

How do observability and exploration tools relate to each other?

The observability features (Overview, Resources, Deployments) give you visibility into your workspace health, resource status, and deployment history. The exploration tools (Playgrounds, Time Series, Explorations) let you interact with your data directly. They complement each other: use the Overview to spot anomalies, drill into Resources to identify the source, then open Playgrounds or Explorations to investigate further. Time Series lets you monitor trends over time, and service datasources provide free built-in telemetry for all of it.

Can I share my work with teammates?

Yes. You can keep your Playgrounds, Time Series or Explorations private, or share them with anyone in your workspace. Playgrounds and Time Series configurations persist in your workspace so team members can access and build on each other's work.

What data sources can I explore?

All tools work with any data source in your Tinybird workspace, including data sources, pipes, and materialized views. You can also explore service data sources like pipe_stats_rt, pipe_stats, endpoint_errors, datasources_storage, datasources_ops_log, and llm_usage — queries against service data sources are free. In Explorations, use @syntax to reference specific data sources to focus the AI on the right context.

Do I need to know SQL?

Not necessarily. Explorations lets you query data using natural language. Time Series generates SQL from your configuration choices. However, Playgrounds is designed for SQL users who want full control. Knowing SQL helps you get the most out of each tool.

How does AI assistance work in Playgrounds vs Explorations?

In Playgrounds, press CMD+K to invoke AI for SQL generation. It understands your schema and suggests fixes, helping you debug pipelines faster. In Explorations, an AI agent with full context of your data analyzes questions, identifies issues, and provides insights. You can export reasoning nodes from Explorations to Playgrounds to continue refining queries in a full SQL environment.
