Core Capabilities

Automatic Partitioning

Hypertables turn any Postgres table into a table automatically partitioned by time or id for fast ingest and predictable queries.

  • Partition skipping at query planning
  • Efficient index-only & skip-scans

Row/columnar Hybrid Storage

Write fast with row storage. Query fast with column storage. Timescale handles the transition automatically as data ages.

  • Auto-conversion between row/columnstore
  • Vectorized operators with SIMD

Compression (up to 95%)

Keep years of history online at a fraction of the cost, while making your analytical queries even faster.

  • Delta, dictionary, and RLE encodings
  • Direct filtering on compressed data

Incremental Materialized Views

Our continuous aggregates (caggs) enable incrementally refreshed rollups for instant dashboards.

  • Parallelized batched refreshes
  • Real-time mode includes latest changes

Automated Management

First-class automation for columnstore, retention, and aggregate refresh with full auditability.

  • Built-in job scheduler with retries
  • Configurable retention policies

Time-series Functions

Hyperfunctions simplify fast, advanced time-series analysis using ~200 native SQL functions.

  • Time-weighted averages & interpolation
  • Partial aggregations eliminate reprocessing

"Other vector databases and logging platforms were either too rigid, too expensive, or didn't allow us to keep things Postgres-native."
