Tinybird shrinks its Local image by a third after a run of observability updates.

real-time analyticslocal developmentobservabilitymcpforward
◆Current state
Tinybird's Nov 6 update makes the Tinybird Local image about a third smaller to download and lighter on memory when idle. It follows system.merges for watching running merges, retryable MCP errors, shared Explorations and tighter viewer and guest permissions. Classic was switched off for Free and Developer plans in mid-October.
◆Where it's heading
With the Classic sunset done, weekly updates are small and practical: visibility into what the cluster is doing, permission tightening and a better local development loop. MCP keeps getting incremental attention.
◆Prediction
Expect more developer-loop and observability updates rather than a large new feature in the next few weeks.

    A smaller Tinybird Local image

    The Tinybird Local image is about a third smaller and uses less memory at idle. It improves the local development loop the Forward workflow depends on, after weeks of observability work.

    Query running merges with system.merges

    system.merges shows running merges in a Workspace, the Cluster page gets clearer, and MCP errors can now be retried by clients. It extends the recent run of operator tooling and hardens the MCP thread.

    Share Explorations with your Workspace

    Shared Explorations, a Workspace filter on org observability and tighter viewer and guest permissions push Tinybird Forward toward team use. It follows the Classic sunset that moved smaller customers onto Forward.

    Tinybird Classic sunset for Free and Developer plans is today

    The scheduled Classic sunset takes effect for Free and Developer plans, and CLI 5.0.0 raises the minimum to Python 3.11. Smaller users now have only Forward, which finishes much of the migration the recent releases were built around.

    Remove several organization members at once

    Admins can now remove organization members in bulk from the UI or API, dedicated clusters gain protection logs, and failed Sink jobs appear in sinks_ops_log. After weeks of query and ingest tuning, this release shifts to the admin and observability needs of larger accounts.

    Tinybird Local on arm64 requires a 4KiB page size kernel

    Secondary indexes and a configurable deduplication window give users direct control over query speed and ingest semantics, two things they previously had to accept as defaults. The 4KiB page-size requirement for arm64 Local is a real compatibility catch for developers on some ARM Linux hosts, and stricter validation fits the post-Classic cleanup.
