Why Timescale?
Built for developers, trusted by businesses
A PostgreSQL cloud platform engineered for your most demanding data needs. Built for scale, speed, and savings.
“What would we use if Timescale didn’t exist is one of those topics that I like not to think about because it gives me anxiety.”
Brock Friedrich, software engineer at DensityRead Density’s Developer Q&A
