wenc's comments are spot on. Just to add: we have found ourselves being used alongside historians, as an easier way to extract and analyze the actual data. In other words, instead of "rip and replace" companies are using TimescaleDB as a more flexible, powerful and easier-to-use operational analytical engine alongside historians, for easier access to their data via full-SQL and in a relational model that lends itself to more useful, complex analysis. Always intrigued to learn more about where we can help here, so if you have any insight, we'd love to hear from you: hello@timescale.com
