Working with the Tinybird CLI

To start working with data projects as if they were software projects, let's install the Tinybird CLI in a virtual environment. Check the CLI documentation for other installation options and troubleshooting.

cd data-project
virtualenv -p python3 .e
. .e/bin/activate
pip install tinybird-cli
tb auth --interactive

Choose your region: 1 for us-east, 2 for eu

Go to your workspace, copy a token with admin rights and paste it. A new .tinyb file will be created.

tb push --fixtures --push-deps

Sending dummy events

from the root folder, just run

cd ..
python3 data-generator/send_events.py --create_users

or any combination of flags —see python3 data-generator/send_events.py --help— you want.

For our demo we firstly created some thousands users with the --create_users flag, and then used:

python3 data-generator/send_events.py --repeat 1200000  --events 213 --sample 1009

Clean the workspace

cd data-project

If you want to delete all pipes and dataspurces, be sure you have them in your local folder tb pull and run tb workspace clear

$ tb workspace clear
