Summary

Tinybird has launched Forward, a new user experience aiming to accelerate the development of software with big data requirements by providing instant feedback through tb dev, a local data development environment. This tool offers real-time validation of data schemas, SQL queries, and API endpoints, facilitating a fast and fluid development process similar to hot reloading in frontend development. By enabling immediate feedback on changes to data projects, tb dev simplifies debugging and iteration, allowing developers to work efficiently with both local mock data and production data. It supports instant SQL query iteration, local API endpoint testing, and real-time debugging, promoting a rapid and intuitive development loop. Additionally, it offers commands for building and testing projects, ensuring valid deployments through CI/CD integration, thereby aiming to eliminate the traditionally slow feedback loops associated with big data systems.
