I think TimescaleDB is amazing piece of technology but I think you're making arguments much broader than they can be made based on the facts. The results which TimescaleDB showed to me seems to show what it is better than ClickHouse in TSBS benchmark (or particular configuration) not for Time Series workloads in general. In my experience "Time Series" workloads can be defined very broadly (by casual user) and querying log of events can be often seen as such

If you would like to discuss facts: We have witnessed 100,000s+ of different time-series workloads over the past 4.5 years, and the patterns they share may surprise you. There is much more similarity than you may think - similarities that have been captured in the TSBS (and described by other TimescaleDB users in this discussion thread). So while we can debate on an academic level what a "time-series" workload is, if we were to look at the facts we will find that the answer is far more specified that you may think. Also, Peter, I wonder if you should be more forthcoming with your ClickHouse affiliation. Everyone reading this thread is aware of my bias because I clearly state my TimescaleDB affiliation. But I didn't realize until very recently (when someone pointed this out to me) that you are affiliated with ClickHouse - eg perhaps as an investor or even founder in Altinity? It is best practice on Hacker News to be forthcoming with affiliations so that readers can make their own decisions on how to correct for any natural biases made by commenters.
