David Granzin, a Senior Systems Engineer at Superwall, built Maple — an open-source observability platform for distributed traces, logs, and metrics — using Tinybird's TypeScript SDK on top of managed ClickHouse. With no infrastructure to provision, Tinybird's local-first development, schema visualization, branch environments, and TypeScript SDK cut his estimated 12-week build down to 7 weeks. The TypeScript SDK also enabled AI coding agents to read and modify Tinybird resources directly, accelerating iteration. In the same timeframe, David also built audit log infrastructure for a second project, Hazel, an AI-first Slack alternative.
