So we are now “TigerData.” We offer the fastest PostgreSQL. ...
Our cloud offering is “Tiger Cloud.” Our logo stays the same: the tiger, looking forward, focused and fast... Our open source time-series PostgreSQL extension remains TimescaleDB. Our vector extension is still pgvectorscale.
Why “Tiger”? The tiger has been our mascot since 2017, symbolizing the speed, power, and precision we strive for in our database.
Given the logo (and internal company culture around the tiger mascot), I understand where they're coming from, but with the name conflicts (TigerBeetle, WiredTiger, etc) I do wish they'd chosen something else -- like maybe TiScaleDB and give a titanium sheen, do triple duty with the tiger and the Timescale heritage?

- HackerThemAll 1y agoThey did not have to choose anything else - timescaledb was just fine.
