We're still doing hosted iaas on aws/gcp/azure and we're adding some small new features, other than its pay per word blog post by the looks of it. Dont get me wrong I like timescale but this is an unclear blog post. tl;dr how is this different than Managed Service for TimescaleDB - it seems identical in features and all the comparison is against serverless and other DBaSSs - reskimmed it and still no clearer
- akulkarni 5y agoThanks for the feedback. What the post is trying to paint is a vision that is different than current DBaaS and "black box" serverless options. Something where you can see and "feel" the database that you are working with (similar to a DBaaS), but where you can still offload the scaling burden (similar to Serverless). That is what we are calling the "transparent box." The new Timescale Cloud is designed around this new vision. It does not fully realize it today, but that is what we are working towards. Hope this helps - and if not, happy to continue the dialogue.
