In the latest post from Aiven, learn how to transform Aiven for PostgreSQL into an advanced open-source time series database using TimescaleDB. Time series data is often voluminous and demands efficient storage for both ingestion and querying. TimescaleDB meets these requirements effectively as a scalable SQL engine packaged as a PostgreSQL extension. This post provides a general overview of time series data, demonstrates how TimescaleDB turns PostgreSQL into a time series database, and guides users through setting up and performing various tasks with it. The tutorial concludes by visualizing the data in Grafana.
