Thanks for the feedback. How is TimescaleDB doing with compression by the way? Meaning if you compare your raw data and the disk usage, what's the ratio?

  You can get 6-8x compression by running on TimescaleDB on ZFS, but compression in general is also an area where we are investing a fair amount of R&D. Also worth noting that TimescaleDB is far more memory-efficient than other time-series databases (eg InfluxDB [1]), and for some folks the memory cost savings is significant (b/c memory cost $$$ >> disk cost $).
