promscale

I work as a Product Manager at Timescale. :) The data tiering feature will be only available in the Timescale cloud offering, we do not have plans to support this feature in oss/self-hosted at the moment. Thanks for sharing your use-case with TimescaleDB. I'm curious to understand how are you ingesting metrics today into TimescaleDB, do you manage your own schema, retention, compression and downsampling? We at Timescale have built a product named Promscale for easy metrics and traces ingestion with automatic schema-management, compression, retention and downsampling capabilities with full SQL support. Have you tried Promscale (https://github.com/timescale/promscale) for your metrics use-case? To learn more about Promscale join us in #promscale channel in our community slack (https://slack.timescale.com/)

They say: > if you want to have a seamless experience between metrics and traces, then current experience of stitching together Prometheus & Jaeger is not great. But I wonder if using Promscale https://github.com/timescale/promscale would make Prometheus & Jaeger not such a big problem as SigNoz imply. Promscale readme: > Promscale is a unified metric and trace observability backend for Prometheus, Jaeger and OpenTelemetry built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB. Either way, SigNoz seems interesting indeed. And am glad to see that SigNoz supports OpenTelemetry.

Hi! So the team is over 100 at this point, but engineering effort is spread across multiple products at this point. The core timescaledb repo [0] currently has 10-15 primary engineers, with a few others working on DB hyperfunctions and our function pipelining [1] in a separate extension [2]. I think generally the set of outside folks who contribute to low-level database internals in C is just smaller than other type of projects. We also have our promscale product [3], which is our observability backend powered by SQL & TimescaleDB. And then there is Timescale Cloud [4], which is obviously a large engineering effort, most of which does not happen in public repos. Interested? We're growing the teams aggressively!
