Relational

For traditional database workloads, Timescale provides dynamically scalable compute and more memory even at the base. Plus you only pay for what you store.

Time series & analytics

For time series and other demanding workloads that ingest and query high volumes of data, Timescale queries up to 350x faster, ingests 44% faster, and saves 95% storage over RDS.

Vector / AI

For production AI applications that need fast search with high recall on millions of vector embeddings, Timescale offers a vector engine.

Millions of data points per second

Up to 1,000x better query performance compared to vanilla PostgreSQL

Millisecond response times for complex aggregate queries

Fast scans across historical data

More than 100 built-in SQL hyperfunctions for faster data analysis

Infinitely scalable

Dynamically scale compute and storage independently, only paying for what you use

Scale query capacity with read replicas and connection pools

Store infinite data by with transparent data tiering

Easily store 100s of TBs across data tiers, and still query as standard SQL tables

Cost-effective and flexibly priced

Save money with high compression rates—customers see up to 95% compression

Only pay for what you store with usage-based storage

Custom storage optimizations for time-series data and analytics

Automated data retention policies and continuous aggregations

Simplified billing, without hidden data transfer, cost-per-query, cost-per-data-scanned or backup charges

Worry free

Everything you love about PostgreSQL—excellent dev experience and a rich ecosystem of database extensions, tools, and connectors

Continuous incremental backup/recovery, point-in-time forking/branching, zero-downtime upgrades, and multi-AZ high availability

No more running out of storage space, managing disk allocations, or getting stuck in the wrong CPU/memory configuration

Top-notch consultative support to unblock any hurdles—at no extra cost

“The best feature of TimescaleDB: it's all PostgreSQL, always has been. All your tools, all the existing libraries, and your code already work with it. I’m using TimescaleDB because it’s the same as PostgreSQL but magically faster.“

Florian Herrengt, co-founder, Nocodelytics
