Did you try VictoriaMetrics for time series data? It easily handles 2 trillion plus rows (20000 times more than TimescaleDB in your setup) on a single node [1].

No, never even heard of it. There really are a bewildering number of options in this space!

I haven't actually tried stressing TimescaleDB, but I imagine it would hold up well if given 50GB of RAM to play with.

My point really though, is that TimescaleDB is a great fit for a lot of use cases, with basically no learning curve if you're already au fait with Postgres. And of course if you're already using Postgres elsewhere in your system, it's one less component to manage.

I have some industrial IoT use case in mind though, and I'll definitely look more into VictoriaMetrics, so thanks for the tip!
