What Hacker News says
2 sources> TimescaleDB is purpose-built for time-series workloads, so that you can get orders of magnitude better performance at a fraction of the cost, along with a much better developer experience. This means massive scale (100s billions of rows and millions of inserts per second on a single server), 94%+ native compression, 10-100x faster queries than PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, Cassandra, and MongoDB – all while maintaining the reliability, ease-of-use, SQL interface, and overall goodness of PostgreSQL.
WITH the links to back up their analysis/comparisons. I think I was first sold the hardest on Timescale when I read the InfluxDB post.
Timescale also releasing their hard work over the last ~3 years with a very permissive, surprisingly business friendly license[0] which was previously discussed on HN[1].
This is pretty huge -- personally one of the t

hings I'm really looking forward to is using Postgres as a backing store for Prometheus now, which timescale actually worked on[2] already. If you look really closely, there's actually a way to get all your observability data into Postgres (i.e. zipkin/jaeger, logs, and prometheus for metrics), and Timescale is going to make all of those things easier to scale and maintain. For those following along at home, postgres already has some not terrible full text search[3] and ways to integrate with elasticsearch like zombodb[4]...
[EDIT] - Just to make what I'm hinting at a little clearer, I think you might be able to build a Graylog[5] type system really easily with just Postgres these days. Imagine deploying a single binary that only needs a single database to do everything it needs to do.
