Stream into Tinybird with your free account

Real-time analytics in Tinybird start with live data — and Estuary makes that possible. By using the Tinybird variant of the Dekaf connector, you can stream data from Flow collections directly into Tinybird as Kafka-compatible messages. This gives you a continuous, low-latency data feed for powering dashboards, APIs, and user-facing analytics.

• Instant data delivery: Flow publishes updates and inserts in real time to Tinybird via Avro-encoded Kafka topics
• Effortless authentication: Connect using your Flow materialization name as the username and your auth token as the password
• Flexible workspace setup: Works seamlessly with both Tinybird Forward (CLI-based) and Tinybird Classic (UI-based) environments
• Schema-aware integration: Includes an Avro schema registry endpoint that Tinybird can automatically decode
• Custom deletion handling: Choose between kafka (null-value deletes) or cdc (explicit deletion records) modes for soft or hard delete logic
• Optimized for analytics: Configure Tinybird datasources using MergeTree or ReplacingMergeTree engines for deduplication and efficient querying

💡 Tip: When using CDC deletion mode, extract the _is_deleted field and apply the FINAL keyword in Tinybird queries to automatically filter out deleted rows.
