What's New in Tiger Cloud: Faster Performance, Easier Workflows, Simpler Adoption

Tiger Cloud has introduced significant updates in 2026, focusing on performance, platform reach, developer experience, and infrastructure management. The launch of TimescaleDB 2.25 enhances query speed on compressed data by up to 289x, thanks to a new ColumnarIndexScan execution path and other optimizations, while Postgres 18, now the default for new services, offers improved query performance and security features. The platform extends its reach with features like Azure Marketplace self-serve signup and Tiered Storage on Microsoft Azure, alongside a new AWS region in Zurich. Developer tools have been upgraded with a floating SQL editor, a timeline view for job monitoring, and a CLI/MCP setup guide in the Tiger Console, enhancing workflow efficiency. Additionally, the infrastructure as code capabilities have been expanded with Terraform support for managing S3 source connectors, allowing for comprehensive management of TimescaleDB infrastructure.
