Case Study: Humblytics cuts infrastructure costs 10x with Tinybird

Humblytics cuts infrastructure costs 10x with Tinybird

Humblytics, an analytics platform, faced significant performance and cost challenges with their TimescaleDB database. As they scaled to process millions of events monthly, queries slowed to 4-5 seconds, dashboards failed to load, and monthly "database sprints" were needed for maintenance. Their infrastructure costs had also become their largest expense at $400-500 per month, which was untenable for the bootstrapped startup.

By migrating to Tinybird's managed ClickHouse platform, Humblytics achieved dramatic results. The implementation, assisted by AI, took about a month. Tinybird delivered 10x faster queries, reducing latency to under 300ms, and cut infrastructure costs by 10x to under $50 per month. The migration also eliminated their monthly maintenance sprints, allowing the team to focus entirely on building new features for their customers.
