Tinybird Instructions

To prepare the Tinybird database, follow these steps:

1. We use pipenv to manage our Python dependencies. If you don't have it installed, you can install it using the following command:

   pkgx pipenv
   

2. Download the Tinybird CLI from here and install it on your system.
3. After authenticating with the Tinybird CLI, navigate to the lib/tinybird directory:

   cd lib/tinybird
   

4. Push the necessary data sources using the following command:

   tb push datasources/*

5. Don't forget to set the TINYBIRD_TOKEN with the appropriate rights in your .env file.
