> **TimescaleDB is now Tiger Data.**

Time-series data is ubiquitous, and while developers do not think of relational databases as their first target for [time series](https://timescale.ghost.io/blog/best-database-for-time-series-data/), they still often turn to them for familiarity reasons.

Last February, I spoke about what I believe to be the solution to this problem—PostgreSQL—at the Jfokus conference in Sweden. Join me as I walk you through some scalable approaches to storing time-series data in PostgreSQL, from metrics, logs, and payment records to IoT data.
