> Other cloud providers can only offer the Apache-2 version of TimescaleDB. So you wouldn't get native compression, continuous aggregates, downsampling, etc. Ah yes - I was forgetting that! > So again, the value add in Timescale Cloud are those features Hmm, not really; those are the value-add from TimescaleDB itself, not Timescale Cloud. I guess I'm going to remain unconvinced for now, but I really hope that, with time, the Timescale Cloud team works on adding more value vs self-hosting, as personally I don't think it brings enough value to justify the pricing as-is.
