[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. [0][1]

- 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 :-)
