We enquired about Timescale Cloud, to migrate from Cloud SQL as we could use it to solve a couple of problems in a simpler way and give us a chance to create other solutions when needed. We don't have anything in time series yet but were hoping to have it there to experiment and start dipping our toes but found it a bit expensive.
The pricing seemed more of an all or nothing investment and didn't make sense if we weren't ready to start using the extra functionality just yet. Was hoping that it would be similar to Cloud SQL and just cost extra depending on usage.
- akulkarni 5y agoHi there, not sure how you did your price comparison, but typically with native compression, performance improvements, continuous aggregates, etc, you can go much further with the same resources on Timescale Cloud than Cloud SQL (or any other generic PostgreSQL provider). Did your math take those performance improvements into account?
