Summary

We are excited to partner with Cloudflare to offer Hyperdrive, a product that turns regional databases into globally distributed ones, allowing us to make Hypertables on Hyperdrive a thing. Timescale's hypertables work like PostgreSQL tables but automatically partition data for better performance. Hyperdrive acts as an edge proxy for PostgreSQL databases, reducing traffic and improving persistence. We have created a tutorial to help users deploy an edge app with Timescale for persistence and querying. Using Timescale provides speed and scalability advantages over vanilla PostgreSQL, especially for time-series data and large datasets. With our 30-day free trial, you can start speeding up your workflow today.
