   2 hosted offerings. From the blog post: (Some of you may remember that we launched the first “Timescale Cloud” 2.5 years ago, as the world’s first fully-managed time-series database-as-a-service on AWS, GCP, Azure. That product is alive

   Not exactly right - seems like we could have clarified the difference more :-) We have two cloud products, Timescale Cloud (which is what this post is discussing), and Managed Service for TimescaleDB (MST), which is what you are also refere

   Clickhouse is a really great piece of technology, especially for general OLAP. But for time-series workloads, we've found that the results are quite close, with TimescaleDB outperforming Clickhouse for many different types of query wor

   Managed Service for TimescaleDB (MST) and the new Timescale Cloud are just two different products. (Not v1 vs v2.) They are both in active use and development. Different users will prefer one over the other. We could do a better job describ

   Exciting things are happening, but to set the record straight, we (Timescale) went "all in" on the cloud over a year ago :-) [0] https://blog.timescale.com/blog/building-open-source-busines...

   Sounds like a lot of people don't like the "serverless" term. And I agree, it's not great. So here's an "RFP" - any suggestions for a better term to describe this consumption-based experience, where you do

   (Timescale co-founder) I also used to hate the phrase. But now I get it. And it's not about marketing, but about the idea that the developers _doesn't shouldn't have to worry about the server_. For example, when you run a DB

    Exactly. TimescaleDB is essentially "Postgres++." You get everything Postgres has to offer, plus better performance, scalability, storage consumption (via ~95% compression), etc. (Also a Timescaler)

    Region selection coming soon. Price should be cheaper for most configurations. Also, offers decoupled storage / compute, so is more cost effective than needing to resize both at the same time. But let me know if you are seeing differen

    Thanks for the feedback. What the post is trying to paint is a vision that is different than current DBaaS and "black box" serverless options. Something where you can see and "feel" the database that you are working with

    Practically speaking, there are already 1000s+ SaaS apps built on TimescaleDB (and using the Timescale License features) But I appreciate the feedback on how we could make our language clearer. Will share with the team!

    Yes :-) It was a little cumbersome to list every DDL SQL command, which why it uses that language. But that is the intent. If you have a specific question, happy to answer it here (or offline) Also, we used this language deliberately to pro

    [Timescale co-founder] This is a really great comparison. I might borrow it in the future :-) But yes, if you have classic OLAP-style queries (e.g., queries that need to touch every database row), Clickhouse is likely the better option. For

    [Timescale co-founder here] Hi Eric, thanks for taking a close look at our license. I'd like to dispel some misconceptions: The core of TimescaleDB is Apache2. Advanced features are under the Timescale License. Regarding this: the
