Workspace

A Tailpipe workspace is a profile that defines the environment in which Tailpipe operates.

Each workspace comprises:

• A single local workspace directory for Tailpipe data (Parquet) and metadata files

• Optionally, context-specific settings and options

You can use workspaces to keep independent sets of data. Tailpipe workspaces enable you to define multiple named configurations and easily switch among them using the --workspace argument or TAILPIPE_WORKSPACE environment variable. If there is no --workspace argument or TAILPIPE_WORKSPACE environment variable, then the default workspace will be used.

Workspace configurations can be defined in any .tpc file in the ~/.tailpipe/config directory, but by convention they are defined in ~/.tailpipe/config/workspaces.tpc file. This file may contain multiple workspace definitions that can then be referenced by name.
