Yep, absolutely. Regular PostgreSQL tables coexist alongside TimescaleDB (hyper)tables in the same database. We believe that's actually a pretty big plus since you can keep metadata that you may need to join on your metrics data without doing it in an application layer.
- sman393 8y agoGood to hear! how does the current TimescaleDB single node limitation play into it?
- RobAtticus 8y agoNot sure I follow exactly what you're asking. You can do read replicas for HA/failover/read sharding which you can do with regular PostgreSQL databases as well. So at least on the axis TimescaleDB presents no limitations.
- sman393 8y agoAlright thanks! I thought I read that TimescaleDB doesn't support clustering yet, only single node Postgres installs, But I could've misunderstood it.
- RobAtticus 8y agoIt does not support sharding writes across multiple nodes, but we do work with streaming replication so you can set up read replicas (and for failover).
