With timescale you still have to deal and think about database connections, nodes and what not. IMO, a truly serverless database is something like dynamodb which just gives you an HTTP endpoint and they take care of the rest.
- avthar 5y agoThe point of the blog post is that Timescale cloud isn't totally "serverless", because for some 20% of use cases, you do want to think about nodes and other database internals. From the blog post: "So today’s serverless data platforms are not familiar or flexible. But further, black boxes are never truly easy and worry free: you never know if there are any skeletons lurking in the proverbial closet, just waiting to cause your service to fall over."
