A free Next.js app and Tinybird backend can be deployed in less than 5 minutes as a simple Datadog alternative for log analytics. This guide covers the stack, development workflow, instrumentation, data handling, and API setup. A focus is placed on building a basic, functional version to iterate quickly, with optimizations for scale coming later. Detailed instructions provide insight into using mock data for testing, integrating APIs with Next.js, and deploying using CI/CD processes.
