The challenge

Vercel's Analytics relied on an AWS pipeline built on Kinesis, Firehose, and Athena where data could take up to 30 minutes to become available to users. Slow loading times drove more customer support tickets and slowed the team down.

The solution

Vercel adopted Tinybird to ingest data over HTTP and expose low-latency SQL-based HTTP endpoints, replacing Kinesis, Firehose, and Athena with a single platform while reducing tooling costs.

Tinybird is the most exciting data company since Snowflake. It's revolutionized the way we think about real-time data analytics at Vercel, for billions of data points per day.
