## Detailed Steps



### Step 1: Sign up for a free Tinybird account

🎟️ 1 entry | ⏳ 30 seconds



[Sign up for free here](https://tbrd.co/reinvent_challenge_signup). No credit card required. No time limit.



Once you've signed up, create a Workspace in an AWS region.

- [Tinybird Concept: Workspaces](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/concepts/workspaces)



### Step 2: Create a Data Source

🎟️ 2 entries | ⏳ 1 minute



Create a Data Source from the supplied [remote CSV file](https://reinvent-challenge.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/black_jack_results.csv) containing theoretical blackjack results.



#### Resources:

- [Tinybird Concept: Data Sources](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/concepts/data-sources)

- [Video: Ingest data from a file](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/screencasts?video=ingest-data-from-a-file)



### Step 3. Build a Pipe

🎟️ 3 entries | ⏳ 2 minutes



Use your SQL skills to query the Data Source you created, and determine the odds of the dealer winning based on their first card, ordered by decreasing win percentage.



Your results should look something like:



| dealer_card | win_pct |

| - | - |

 A | 0.5957 

 K | 0.5437 

 10 | 0.5343 

... | ...

- [Video: Create a Pipe](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/screencasts?video=create-a-pipe)



### Step 4. Publish an API Endpoint

🎟️ 5 entries | ⏳ Instant



Tinybird lets you publish any Pipe as a scalable REST API Endpoint in a click. From the Pipe UI, click the big green **Create API Endpoint** button to create your Endpoint! 🎉



Once your API Endpoint is published, copy the HTTP Endpoint and [submit it here](https://forms.gle/HiRTFjbRy9di7Mzt7) for credit.

### Add a Query Parameter to Your API

🎟️ 5 entries | ⏳ 1 minute



Add a query parameter to the API Endpoint you built in the main challenge so the API returns the odds for a specific card (e.g. 'A' or 'K').



#### Resources:

- [Tinybird Docs: Using query parameters](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/query/query-parameters)

- [Video: Add query parameters to your APIs](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/screencasts?video=add-query-parameters-to-your-apis)



### Create a Chart

🎟️ 10 entries | ⏳ 3 minutes



Use the Tinybird Chart Library to create a chart that displays the data from your Endpoint. Note: you may need to update your Endpoint or create a new one.



#### Resources:

- [Tinybird Docs: Charts](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/publish/charts)

- [Video: Build with Tinybird Charts](https://www.tinybird.co/docs/screencasts?video=build-fast-charts)



### Build a Real-Time Analytics pipeline with DynamoDB

🎟️ 20 entries | ⏳ 15-30 minutes

Have data in Dynamo? Connect it to Tinybird and build your own real-time analytics API.



If you don't have DynamoDB data, you can use our example data generator in the [extra_credit](https://github.com/tinybirdco/tinybird-reinvent-challenges/tree/main/extra_credit) folder.
