# Integrate Decodable with Tiger Cloud

> Build and manage real-time data pipelines to stream and process your data effortlessly

export const CONSOLE = 'Tiger Console';

export const CLOUD_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud';

export const SERVICE_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud service';

export const SELF_LONG = 'self-hosted TimescaleDB';

[Decodable][decodable] is a real-time data platform that allows you to build, run, and manage data pipelines effortlessly.

![Decodable workflow][decodable-workflow]

This page explains how to integrate Decodable with your {SERVICE_LONG} to enable efficient real-time streaming and analytics.

## Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

* Create a target [{SERVICE_LONG}][create-service] with Real-time analytics enabled.<p />

  You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also
  works for [{SELF_LONG}][enable-timescaledb].

[create-service]: /deploy-and-operate/tiger-cloud/get-started/create-services

[enable-timescaledb]: /deploy-and-operate/self-hosted/install-and-update/install-self-hosted

[connection-info]: /integrations/find-connection-details

* Sign up for [Decodable][sign-up-decodable].

  This page uses the pipeline you create using the [Decodable Quickstart Guide][decodable-quickstart].

## Connect Decodable to your service

To stream data gathered in Decodable to a {SERVICE_LONG}:

1. **Create the sync to pipe a Decodable data stream into your {SERVICE_LONG}**

   1. Log in to your [Decodable account][decodable-app].
   2. Click `Connections`, then click `New Connection`.
   3. Select a `PostgreSQL sink` connection type, then click `Connect`.
   4. Using your [connection details][connection-info], fill in the connection information.

      Leave `schema` and `JDBC options` empty.
   5. Select the `http_events` source stream, then click `Next`.

      Decodable creates the table in your {SERVICE_LONG} and starts streaming data.

2. **Test the connection**

   1. Connect to your {SERVICE_LONG}.

      For {CLOUD_LONG}, open an [SQL editor][in-console-editors] in [{CONSOLE}][services-portal]. For {SELF_LONG}, use [`psql`][psql].

   2. Check the data from Decodable is streaming into your {SERVICE_LONG}.

      ```sql theme={"dark"}
      SELECT * FROM http_events;
      ```

      You see something like:
