Tinybird CLI Guidelines

Guidance for using the Tinybird CLI (tb) for local development, deployments, data operations, and workspace management.

When to Apply

  • Running any tb command
  • Choosing a development workflow (local, branch, or cloud)
  • Local development with Tinybird Local
  • Branch development with Tinybird Cloud branches
  • Building and deploying projects
  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines
  • Appending, replacing, or deleting data
  • Managing tokens and secrets via CLI
  • Generating mock data
  • Running tests

Quick Reference

  • CLI 4.0 workflow: configure dev_mode once, then use plain tb build and tb deploy.
  • tb build targets your configured development environment (branch or local) in tinybird.config.json.
  • tb deploy targets Tinybird Cloud production.
  • Use --cloud/--local/--branch only as explicit manual overrides.
  • Use tb info to check CLI context.
  • Use tb endpoint data <pipe> to test endpoints (not tb pipe data).
  • Never invent commands or flags; run tb <command> --help to verify.
