The cron job that will speed up your Postgres queries 100x

Tinybird provides a solution for efficiently running analytical queries on large PostgreSQL databases that have grown too big for traditional methods. Instead of relying on costly and suboptimal approaches like fine-tuning indices, setting up replication, or running pre-aggregation queries, Tinybird offers the ability to run instant queries using its platform. By setting up a cron job, users can maintain an up-to-date replica of their transactions table and perform sub-second analytical queries without using PostgreSQL for the actual querying. Tinybird can handle data ingestion at high speeds, enabling users to access its UI for quick query execution or set up KPI dashboards through APIs. The platform demonstrates significant performance improvements, with queries running up to 200 times faster compared to PostgreSQL, making it a compelling option for applications struggling with large and complex data sets.
