What is TimescaleDB?

TimescaleDB is an advanced time-series and analytics database built entirely on top of PostgreSQL, combining the best of relational reliability and time-series speed. It’s engineered to help developers and data teams analyze streaming, sensor, and event data in real time, while retaining historical data cost-effectively. Its core innovation, the hypertable, automatically partitions large datasets across time and space, optimizing query planning and ingestion for billions of records. TimescaleDB’s continuous aggregates provide incrementally refreshed views, enabling instant dashboards and analytics without costly recomputations. It also offers hybrid row-columnar storage, blending transactional speed with analytical performance, and supports compression rates up to 95% for long-term data storage. With built-in automation for retention, aggregation, and reordering, it reduces the operational overhead of managing time-series data at scale. TimescaleDB’s hyperfunctions library extends SQL with over 200 specialized time-series analysis functions — ideal for anomaly detection, forecasting, and performance tracking. Because it’s 100% PostgreSQL compatible, teams can leverage existing Postgres tools, drivers, and extensions while gaining time-series capabilities instantly. Open-source and cloud-ready, it powers critical workloads for industries ranging from IoT and fintech to cloud infrastructure monitoring. With TimescaleDB, developers can query billions of data points in milliseconds — using the same SQL they already know.
