HTTP Streaming

TL;DR

HTTP streaming is by far the most used ingestion mechanism by developers. It provides a simple endpoint where you can ingest all the data you want and forget about everything else. The Events API enables OpenTelemetry, webhooks, and client libraries with automatic batching and infrastructure management.

If you don't want to deal with infrastructure, want simple integration, and start with a clean streaming architecture, HTTP streaming is the best way to ingest data into ClickHouse.


How HTTP Streaming Works

Tinybird provides an Events API with the Gatherer, an ingestion proxy that abstracts all the complexity of ingesting small and frequent inserts into ClickHouse. It creates optimized parts, handles all the complexities, and integrates with other parts of the data journey.
