## Description

Build and troubleshoot Cloudflare Basin analytics workflows with Basin Pipelines, Basin Catalog, and Basin SQL. Use for streaming data into R2 Iceberg tables, managing catalogs, or querying those tables; also use for requests using the former Data Platform, Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, or R2 SQL names.

# Cloudflare Basin

Basin ingests and transforms events, manages Apache Iceberg tables in R2, and queries them with distributed SQL. Start with the [Basin overview](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin/index.md) and retrieve the relevant current docs before implementing changes, especially for limits, pricing, permissions, and CLI syntax. While PR #33850 remains open, use the proposed pages in that PR if the new URLs have not been published.

## Rebrand

Cloudflare Data Platform is now **Basin**. Cloudflare Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and R2 SQL are now **Basin Pipelines**, **Basin Catalog**, and **Basin SQL**. Existing resources and configurations continue to work. The prior Wrangler command families also continue to work: `wrangler pipelines`, `wrangler r2 bucket catalog`, and `wrangler r2 sql`. Use the new Basin commands and documentation URLs in new guidance. Legacy API identifiers and metrics names may still use the old terms; check the current docs for deprecation details. The migration is documented in [cloudflare-docs PR #33850](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/pull/33850).
