  I think if you had something to say you would have said it already. There are people who actually replied with something worthwhile.

    > There are people who actually replied with something worthwhile. And you dismissed it as still not being difficult. The Timescale folks did all the hard work of finding product / market fit for you. If this problem is so trivial, you'd make a faster, cheaper, more reliable product and steal their lunch. Not only their lunch but Clickhouse, AWS Timestream, etc..

      No, I said I don't understand why it isn't trivial or if most of the people buying it don't realize they don't need a specialized database. Only one person was able to come up with anything, other people, including you just go extremely upset at the question without being able to answer it. The number that stood out the most was 700 million values per second, which is about 11.6 million per second. This is still less than the data in a single 4k image. My guess is that none of this is a feat of engineering, but that it's just enough work that many people that need it won't create their own solution.
