That was a bad explanation on my part, sorry. They are still open source! But they diverged from keeping fully aligned with MySQL developments AFAIK so are no longer a fork/distribution as they are forging their own path.

So I was being unclear, the "until a couple of years ago" was referring to divergence rather than a change in license.

Thanks for sharing this point of view. For those interested, I wanted to share this blog post that explains the Timescale approach in detail. https://www.timescale.com/blog/building-open-source-business...

Your case in point dropped off, but Percona (MySQL and MongoDB distributions) and until a couple of years ago MariaDB fell into this category I think.

folks like to chat about benchmarks

LoriP | 3 years ago | on: TimescaleDB 2.7 vs. PostgreSQL 14

Timescale doesn't charge for any of its software. Revenue comes from providing hosting services that are optimized towards TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL at scale.

The code is source-available, license philosophy is explained in this blog post https://www.timescale.com/blog/building-open-source-business...

That includes the HA implementation, and I think someone else shared the docs for that. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the mentions (and for using TimescaleDB).

If anyone's curious about TimescaleDB, it's packaged as an extension to Postgres, optimizing for performance, storage, and analysis of time series data. Implementing columnar compression algorithms is a big part of the secret sauce that makes TimescaleDB a popular choice with Postgres and SQL developers. You can read more about that on the Timescale blog (I'm Timescale's community manager btw). https://www.timescale.com/blog/search/?query=compression

If anyone's curious, the youtube channel may be a good place to start, especially this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsceB9ac9MHTtM1XWONMR...

Have to say I love this use case of TimescaleDB and Grafana – a perfect example of time series data used for something small and useful to prove a theory. In case anyone's tantalized the TimescaleDB YouTube channel has some great free how-to videos on setting up TimescaleDB and Grafana.

TimescaleDB is packaged as a postgres extension, there's a GitHub project here if anyone is interested to check in on that https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb

Hello would like to check in on this with you. You can find my email address in my profile, I am Timescale's community manager. Thanks!

LoriP | 3 years ago | on: PostgreSQL 14 Internals Book

Timescale is hiring for a Software Engineer (Database Internals) and this could also be a senior-level hire. It's based on PostgreSQL but if the rest of the resume stacks up it's not 100% essential that you've worked on PostgreSQL internals before. Global, remote.

This article discusses how TimescaleDB (packaged as an extension to PostgreSQL) approaches performance improvements, though it's a bit of an old piece and things have moved on with TimescaleDB too. It gives some good insights though. https://www.timescale.com/blog/timescaledb-vs-6a696248104e/ There are some more recent articles on the blog about performance and benchmarks if you're tantalized by that one.

is there a possibility of server downtime using this service?

If you want some intro info – and you may have found it already – the YouTube channel is a great place to start for TimescaleDB youtube.com/TimescaleDB (for tranparency: I work for Timescale...)

LoriP | 4 years ago | on: Command-line Tools can be 235x Faster than your Hadoop Cluster (2014)

Just wanted to say that TimescaleDB is an extension of PostgreSQL and so it uses SQL. MySQL would use SQL too.

InfluxDB does, indeed, have its own query language though.

Wonderful... I'll seek you out today, really appreciate your help. Maybe you will have the magic touch. (sorry for radio silence, timezones!)

LoriP | 4 years ago | on: Timescale raises $110M Series C

Thank you, I might take you up on that...and exchange experiences lol

"Bad things happen to good data"

Just one of many pearls of wisdom from the MLOps community, I'm convinced MLOps will be a top tech topic of 2022 (bigger than it is now I mean...)

LoriP | 4 years ago | on: How to select the most appropriate DB for your project?

Agree there... the writer is making a rod for their own back trying to list all databases in a title! PostgreSQL doesn't even get a mention. Though it's a good enough example of the kinds of things to look at and compare.

Thanks for the shout-out for TimescaleDB (I'm the community manager for Timescale...)

LoriP | 4 years ago | on: Schemaverse, a space based strategy game to learn PostgreSQL

That looks like a project for next weekend to me... By which time some of this excitement may drop down, it's a shame if folk don't come back to it just because of overload on an unexpectant server!

Anyway, thanks for the work you did on this abstrct you have made a community manager very happy :)
