TimescaleDB with Tessell for PostgreSQL
Blog post from Tessell
TimescaleDB is a time-series database built on PostgreSQL, optimized for efficiently handling large volumes of time-stamped data through features like automatic time partitioning, advanced indexing, and compression. It extends PostgreSQL capabilities by introducing a distributed hypertable architecture, which enhances query performance for time-series data and provides real-time analytics with continuous aggregates and window functions. TimescaleDB is particularly beneficial for applications like IoT, financial services, DevOps, digital marketing, and energy sectors, where managing and analyzing time-series data is crucial. It seamlessly integrates with Tessell for PostgreSQL, enabling easy setup and management in cloud environments, and offers high availability and scalability through PostgreSQL's backup and replication features. By allowing users to create hypertables, ingest and query data efficiently, and manage data retention with chunk purging and compression, TimescaleDB presents itself as a powerful open-source alternative to proprietary time-series databases.
