Benchmark Results: The Fastest Time-Series Database on Azure
Blog post from Tiger Data
The benchmark study conducted using RTABench, an open-source tool designed for evaluating real-time analytics performance, highlights the superior speed of Tiger Cloud over TimescaleDB and vanilla PostgreSQL on Azure infrastructure. Tiger Cloud exhibited a median query time of 390 milliseconds, notably faster than TimescaleDB's 1.4 seconds and vanilla PostgreSQL's 6 seconds, due to its comprehensive support for time-series features like continuous aggregates and compression. The study emphasized that Tiger Cloud's integration with Azure allows for efficient handling of real-time workloads, overcoming the limitations of the Apache 2 Edition of TimescaleDB on Azure Database for PostgreSQL. Despite the absence of support for Kusto Query Language in RTABench, Tiger Cloud's performance in running real-time workloads on Azure offers a compelling alternative for users needing enhanced speed and full feature support, especially for those familiar with PostgreSQL.
