In a nutshell, my extremely subjective and biased take on it:
* Citus has a great clustering story, and a small data warehousing story, afaik no timeseries story;
* TimescaleDB has a great timeseries story, and an average data warehousing story;
* Clickhouse has a great data warehousing story, an average timeseries story, and a bit meh clustering story (YMMV).
(Disclaimer: I work for a competitor)
- akulkarni 5y ago[Timescale co-founder] This is a really great comparison. I might borrow it in the future :-) But yes, if you have classic OLAP-style queries (e.g., queries that need to touch every database row), Clickhouse is likely the better option. For anything time-series related, and/or if you like/love Postgres, that is where TimescaleDB shines. (But please make sure you turn on compression!) TimescaleDB also has a good clustering story, which is also improving over time.

- mromanuk 5y agoI like how you always chime in with time series stuff. Just by watching you interact here, boost my confidence on your product
- akulkarni 5y agoThanks for the kind words. Our first company value is, "Help first." :-)
- eloff 5y agoI can vouch for this. Ajay replies to my emails on a weekend. I'm nobody, not even a customer. He doesn't need to do that at all. I imagine he does it because he's a genuinely good and helpful type of person.
- akulkarni 5y agoThanks! It's not just me, it's what we all try to do at Timescale :-)
- LaserToy 5y agoI thought Pinot and Druid are direct competitors

- arthurcolle 5y agoIt appears the competitor is QuasarDB
- stingraycharles 5y agoExcellent comment archeology, this is correct. :)
