Good article, once it got around to what I think is the point--that Postgres with the TimescaleDB extension can function as a great time-series database. The IoT framing put me off kilter for a long way in--"IoT" as a buzzword is somewhat past its prime (not that the reality of embedded networked computers in everything has slowed down), and to be fair, the time-series use case is mainly about IoT sensor data, not really IoT in the general case.
But once I got past that, it was enlightening. I've been very dissatisfied with the time-series options available out there, so learning about something built on Postgres, which we already use extensively for OLTP purposes, was very interesting. Thanks.
