Case Study: Vercel achieves real-time analytics and faster developer insights with Tinybird

Vercel cuts analytics lag from 30 minutes to seconds with Tinybird

Vercel, a platform for deploying frontend applications, faced a challenge with its analytics product. Their original setup on AWS using Kinesis Firehose and Athena caused significant delays, taking up to 30 minutes for data to become available to users. This slow performance led to increased customer support tickets and hindered their users' ability to quickly understand application performance and iterate.

By implementing Tinybird, Vercel replaced its complex AWS infrastructure with a single platform. Tinybird enabled them to ingest data via HTTP and expose low-latency SQL APIs, resulting in data being available within seconds. This solution provided a reactive dashboard experience, reduced tooling complexity and costs, and expanded use cases to include real-time alerts and DDoS detection.
