Case Study: Humblytics cut infrastructure costs 10x and queries 10x faster migrating to Tinybird
Key results
The challenge
Humblytics, a privacy-focused web analytics product, ran its analytics on TimescaleDB where its largest infrastructure bill reached $400-500 per month and was climbing. Queries for the last 90 days of data on high-traffic sites took 4-5 seconds, and monthly database maintenance sprints delivered no user value.
The solution
Humblytics migrated its analytics backend to Tinybird over about a month using AI-assisted migration, processing 150M events per month.
“With Tinybird, we cut our infrastructure costs by 10x and eliminated these database sprints.”

The results, in context
Humblytics cut infrastructure costs roughly 10x, from $400-500 per month on Timescale to under $50 per month on Tinybird, and made queries about 10x faster - from 4-5 seconds to 300 milliseconds or less for 90 days of data on high-traffic sites. It also eliminated the recurring monthly database maintenance sprints.
