TimescaleDB vs. Amazon Timestream
I&#x27;m very towards Postgres and resultingly Timescale for being one of it&#x27;s biggest shining stars. Combine that with a cynical view that this is essentially S-tier content marketing (in the tech world), and the numbers are <i>still</i> bonkers.<p>Might as well add on a bit here -- if you&#x27;re into this sort of thing you might enjoy Timescale thrashing other purpose-built databases (which have since also improved so YMMV):<p>- Timescale vs Influx[0]<p>- Timescale vs Mongo[1]<p>- Timescale vs Cassandra[2]<p>These blog posts are all from the timescale side, but the numbers are undeniable and their methodology is open source -- not sure there&#x27;s more you can ask. Cassandra <i>probably</i> scales better at FB&#x2F;Twitter scale, but with the recent work done to improve Timescale&#x27;s scaling features[3] and the permissive license (unless you&#x27;re an Amazon) I&#x27;m not sure even that is a real benefit.<p>I&#x27;d love to see a response from Amazon -- if HN is so lucky to have a dev who worked on AWS Timestream that would be awesome.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;timescaledb-vs-influxdb-for-time-series-data-timescale-influx-sql-nosql-36489299877&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;timescaledb-vs-influxdb-for-...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;how-to-store-time-series-data-mongodb-vs-timescaledb-postgresql-a73939734016&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;how-to-store-time-series-dat...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;time-series-data-cassandra-vs-timescaledb-postgresql-7c2cc50a89ce&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;time-series-data-cassandra-v...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;timescaledb-2-0-a-multi-node-petabyte-scale-completely-free-relational-database-for-time-series&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.timescale.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;timescaledb-2-0-a-multi-node...</a>
