Audience
Developers, data engineers, and analytics teams who need high-performance, PostgreSQL-compatible time-series storage and querying for IoT, fintech, DevOps, or event-driven applications
About TimescaleDB
TimescaleDB is the leading time-series database built on PostgreSQL, designed to handle massive volumes of real-time data efficiently. It enables organizations to store, analyze, and query time-series data — such as IoT sensor data, financial transactions, or event logs — using standard SQL. With hypertables, TimescaleDB automatically partitions data by time and ID for fast ingestion and predictable query performance. Its compression engine reduces storage costs by up to 95%, while continuous aggregates make real-time dashboards instantly responsive. Fully compatible with PostgreSQL, it integrates seamlessly with existing tools and applications. TimescaleDB combines the simplicity of Postgres with the scalability and speed of a specialized analytical system.

GridDB
GridDB uses multicast communication to constitute a cluster. Set the network to enable multicast communication. First, check the host name and an IP address. Execute “hostname -i” command to check the settings of an IP address of the host. If the IP address of the machine is the same as below, no need to perform additional network setting and you can jump to the next section. GridDB is a database that manages a group of data (known as a row) that is made up of a key and multiple values. Besides having a composition of an in-memory database that arranges all the data in the memory, it can also adopt a hybrid composition combining the use of a disk (including SSD as well) and a memory.
