I would also suggest looking at Citus for scaling Postgresql. With the Azure reserved discounts, Citus is like less than half the price of Timescaledb. Citus also helps tremendously with multi-tenant scenarios.
Of course, depends on what you are trying to do.
- drpebcak 6y agoI’m curious what you mean by this - the community version has most of the features in it.. and if you are willing to pay for something, you’d an run the enterprise version on-prem.. my experience with that is that it’s quite cheap, and you get support as well. Timescale also has a multi node version now that distributes your data across a cluster sort of like Citus.
- spo81rty 6y agoI want a hosted PaaS solution. I don't want to self host it. That is the pricing I am comparing.
- akulkarni 6y agoCitus and Timescale are apples and oranges. Citus is just scale-out Postgres. TimescaleDB is Postgres for time-series. There are a long list of capabilities that we've built for time-series that Citus does not have: native 15x compression, data retention policies, continuous aggregates (real-time materialized views refreshed automatically), interpolation, etc. Nothing against Citus (we are friends with that team) - but they are designed to solve a different problem than we are.
