    TimescaleDB is an open-source time series database[3][4][5] developed by Timescale Inc. (renamed "TigerData" on June 17, 2025).[6] It is written in C and extends PostgreSQL.[7][8] TimescaleDB is a relational database[9] and supports standard SQL queries. Additional SQL functions and table structures provide support for time series data oriented towards storage, performance, and analysis facilities for data-at-scale.[10]

    One of the key features of TimescaleDB is its performance, which has been compared to InfluxDB.[11] Time-based data partitioning via hypertables provides for improved query execution and performance when used for time oriented applications.[12] More granular partition definition is achieved through the use of user defined attributes.[13]

    TimescaleDB is offered as open source software under the Apache 2.0 license. Additional features are offered in a community edition as source available software under the Timescale License Agreement (TLS).[14]

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    Timescale was founded by Ajay Kulkarni (CEO)[15] and Michael J. Freedman (CTO) in response to their need for a database solution to support internet of things workloads.[16]
