Summary

TimescaleDB 1.5 has been released with new features aimed at improving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by leveraging compression and data tiering functionality called move_chunk. Native compression allows users to store more data in less actual storage, resulting in an average compression ratio of 20x. Move_chunk enables users to move individual data chunks between Postgres tablespaces, reducing storage costs without needing to purge data. This flexibility is especially beneficial for environments where historical data analysis is a key part of the business. The feature also improves query performance by spreading read IO load across multiple storage mounts and disk arrays. Users can customize their setup based on their needs and follow simple steps to get started with move_chunk. The new release includes instructions, documentation, and a 30-day trial license for TimescaleDB Enterprise.
