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.

OpenTSDB
OpenTSDB consists of a Time Series Daemon (TSD) as well as set of command line utilities. Interaction with OpenTSDB is primarily achieved by running one or more of the independent TSDs. There is no master, no shared state so you can run as many TSDs as required to handle any load you throw at it. Each TSD uses the open source database HBase or hosted Google Bigtable service to store and retrieve time-series data. The data schema is highly optimized for fast aggregations of similar time series to minimize storage space. Users of the TSD never need to access the underlying store directly. You can communicate with the TSD via a simple telnet-style protocol, an HTTP API or a simple built-in GUI. The first step in using OpenTSDB is to send time series data to the TSDs. A number of tools exist to pull data from various sources into OpenTSDB.
