Postgres has evolved into a versatile platform with extensions to cover nearly every use case. However, today's applications often need more than just transactional consistency; they require the ability to make fast, precise decisions using large amounts of up-to-the-second data, often in mission-critical scenarios. TimescaleDB shines by empowering developers to address both their relational and real-time analytics needs within Postgres. Its hybrid row-columnar storage engine, hyperstore, allows for efficient handling of high-speed ingestion of new data and the efficient querying of large datasets while maintaining flexibility and performance required for real-time workloads.
