I think people are thinking of something similar to Digital Ocean's managed databases or Amazon's RDS, but that's quite a different class of services than what it seems timescale is trying to provide with Timescale Cloud.
If people want to play around with timescaleDB for cheap, DigitalOcean claims that their managed postgres supports the timescale extension, but I've never tried it.
- mfreed 6y agoYep, Digital Ocean (as well as Azure, Rackspace, and others) offer TimescaleDB with their managed Postgres offerings, but they can only offer the Apache-2 version. So you don't get native compression, continuous aggregates, downsampling, etc., many of which make the Timescale Cloud version actually less expensive when considering capabilities (e.g., 50GB on Timescale Cloud can store akin to 1TB elsewhere and have faster queries, continuous aggs mean faster and less-CPU to run dashboards, etc).
