Summary
** Timescale Cloud has announced the availability of data tiering in Early Access, allowing customers to automatically tier older data to a low-cost, infinite storage layer built on Amazon S3. This feature enables seamless querying of tiered data within the database and provides transparent access to both disk-based and object storage layers. With this integration, Timescale Cloud offers a cost-effective solution for scaling PostgreSQL databases in AWS, addressing the issue of prohibitively expensive storage costs as data volumes increase. The feature is available at no charge during the Early Access period, with pricing to be disclosed later, promising significant savings for users.
