Seconded. I understand that Timescale extends Postgres, but I'd still like to see performance comparisons relative to other time-series databases such as InfluxDB or even TiDB.

Shameless self-plug: we're also building database technology, but for embedding vectors (https://milvus.io) rather than time-series data - when doing query performance comparisons, we get several orders of magnitude of performance improvement over traditional databases. It's an unfair comparison, so we generally avoid it.

We have published many, many benchmarks versus other database systems. IIRC all of them also made the front page of HackerNews.

Here are some of them, for your reading pleasure :-)

Cool. Now do VS PG+extensions like asked about up-thread.

Once I've read this, I never had to think twice on what to use.

I think it's fair to mention it, but with the specific caveat of "If your workload has these characteristics, we are a particularly good fit."
