Case Study: Dub achieves faster user-facing analytics with Tinybird

Dub launches analytics 10x faster with Tinybird

Dub, an open-source link management platform, faced scaling challenges with its original Redis-based analytics infrastructure. As their traffic grew, queries became slow and inflexible, taking over five seconds and providing a poor user experience for their analytics dashboards and usage-based billing. They needed a more powerful time series database without the overhead of managing it themselves, leading them to the Tinybird platform.

By implementing Tinybird, Dub offloaded all data ingestion to Tinybird's Events API and leveraged its managed ClickHouse core and integrated API layer. This solution allowed them to build a functional MVP in just two weeks. The results were significant, with queries becoming 100 times faster, returning in milliseconds instead of seconds. Tinybird provided a scalable, simple integration that enabled Dub to ship real-time user-facing analytics faster.
