Introducing the Data Operations Log

Data ingestion challenges, such as missing data or improper formatting, can be cumbersome for users who prefer not to spend extensive time troubleshooting. To address this, Tinybird has developed the Data Operations Log, a feature that provides comprehensive visibility into every operation performed on data sources, including details on operation success, duration, and error specifics. This log is accessible via the UI or API, allowing users to query detailed information about data source operations, such as creations, appends, deletions, and more. By exposing the Operations Log as a service dataset, users can directly query it through the API, enabling advanced functionalities like alert systems and ad-hoc reporting tools. Additionally, users can create endpoints to visualize data ingestion metrics, such as elapsed time versus rows ingested, allowing for enhanced analysis and control over data operations. This feature aims to streamline the process of building robust analytical solutions, offering users the tools for better data management and insight generation.
