What is Tinybird?

Tinybird's Forward platform matures through steady weekly connector, query, and ops upgrades.

Tinybird is a managed real-time analytics platform built on ClickHouse, shipping on a tight weekly changelog cadence. The current focus is hardening its next-generation "Forward" architecture: lightweight deletes just entered beta, Tinybird Local now runs natively on arm64, and the engine moved from ClickHouse 25.3 to 25.8.

What is ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus?

Exchange Reporter Plus is in security-and-compatibility mode, chasing Microsoft's cmdlet deprecations and closing XSS reports.

Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.

Tinybird
ANALYTICS
5.0

Tinybird's Forward platform matures through steady weekly connector, query, and ops upgrades.

◆ Current state

Tinybird is a managed real-time analytics platform built on ClickHouse, shipping on a tight weekly changelog cadence. The current focus is hardening its next-generation "Forward" architecture: lightweight deletes just entered beta, Tinybird Local now runs natively on arm64, and the engine moved from ClickHouse 25.3 to 25.8.

◆ Where it's heading

The throughline is migrating users off "Classic" onto Forward while widening the data-ingress and query surface — new connectors (DynamoDB, Kafka pause visibility), query features (PREWHERE, on-demand copy-job compute), and operational controls (workspace cluster selection, explicit flags for destructive schema changes, quarantine auto-cleanup). A migrate-to-forward CLI and vector search show the platform closing gaps to make Forward the default.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued weekly increments on Forward — more connectors, ClickHouse version tracking, and migration tooling — with lightweight deletes the likely candidate to graduate from beta toward general availability.

M0.0

Exchange Reporter Plus is in security-and-compatibility mode, chasing Microsoft's cmdlet deprecations and closing XSS reports.

◆ Current state

Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.

◆ Where it's heading

The product's near-term direction is defined less by new capability than by keeping reporting intact as Microsoft deprecates the cmdlets it depends on (Get-Message, Search-AdminAuditLog) and tightens tenant access. The one clearly forward-looking thread is authentication modernization — moving Exchange Online configuration to Entra app registration and removing the MFA-disable requirement — which improves security posture without expanding the reporting surface.

◆ Prediction

Expect the security-fix cadence to continue and further Microsoft-driven cmdlet and auth migrations as Exchange Online evolves, with feature additions remaining incremental.
