Real-time data analytics is crucial for modern applications, but PostgreSQL, despite being popular among developers, struggles with efficiently querying large datasets. Materialized views in PostgreSQL pre-compute and store query results for faster access, yet their need for manual refreshes and their inability to provide up-to-date results limit their practicality for real-time analytics. TimescaleDB addresses these limitations with continuous aggregates, an enhanced version of materialized views that automatically refreshes and efficiently updates only changed data, thus providing up-to-date results. These continuous aggregates offer significant improvements for applications requiring real-time data processing, such as live dashboards and analytics, by combining stored materialized data with the latest raw data, ensuring data accuracy and performance. TimescaleDB can be accessed as a PostgreSQL extension or via the Timescale platform on AWS, offering a free trial period for exploration.
