And we in fact have fully open-source/free k8s helm charts to easily spin up TimescaleDB, including with HA and automated failure detection/failover and streaming replication for incremental backups: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-kubernetes Or just use Timescale's managed cloud on AWS: https://www.timescale.com/timescale-signup

TimescaleDB (single-node) leverages Postgres features for HA (physical replication). It was never in the "enterprise tier", it fully works with the pure Apache 2 version. We also make available k8s helm charts that make it super easy to setup replicated clusters, including with mechanisms (Patroni) for automated failure detection and failover, and continuous incremental backup. That's also available under the Apache-2 license: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-kubernetes (There used to be some slightly confusing language in our product page that perhaps led to some of your confusion, and apologies for that.) For multi-node (available starting in TimescaleDB 2.0), we are working on more native mechanisms for replication. But as announced earlier, these will all be "community" features (free) under our Timescale License.

I see Timescale Helm charts for Kubernetes: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-kubernetes. Are you using Kubernetes to host the managed service?

Most of our users do. They don't run their own hardware. You can even use our Apache-2 k8s helm charts [1] to immediately spin up a cluster of replicated TimescaleDB nodes with automated leader-election/failover and continuous incremental backup. The helm charts have first-class support for AWS EKS. What the TSL prevents is _Amazon_ offering TimescaleDB as a paid DBaaS service. To my knowledge, none of the major cloud vendors offer C
