Timescale is now TigerData. This is an exciting day for us. Over the past 8 years, we’ve grown to power a large range of modern, operational workloads. Beyond time-series and sensor data, we’re powering developer tools, SaaS applications, AI-native games, RAG applications, and…
At @TigerDatabase, we believe your application should define your stack, not be constrained by it. The future is open. check out my thoughts about it in our blog tigerdata.com/blog/escaping-…
Writing 140 million tuples per second with new "direct write into columnstore" technique of @TigerDatabase Postgres instance. (In fact, had to run the benchmark locally to not be bottlenecked by the network!) Speed wins.
We're lucky to work with some incredible companies and teams. Here’s a small shoutout to three @TigerDatabase customers doing inspiring work right now: 1. Lucid Motors In Q2, Lucid delivered 3,309 vehicles (+38% y/y) and produced 3,863 (+83% y/y). But beyond the numbers,…

For cloud services like databases, platform/fleet level status metrics are a very incomplete proxy for what users actually care about -- although we certainly pride ourselves at very high uptime here as well. What users actually care about is: Is _my_ database…
people are asking what is unique about the PlanetScale Postgres product. here's one thing:
Cloudflare chose TimescaleDB to power its Digital Experience Monitoring and Zero Trust Analytics products. cfl.re/4nCM3a8
A key use case of fast database forking is supporting dev workflows for both humans and agents: "branch" a database to test a schema migration, and allow agents to create/destroy databases quickly during code generation. If you had a similar ability for instant copy-on-write…
@TimescaleDB I love you 😄 My database shrank from 66 TB to 8.3 TB — that’s an 87% reduction in size! 🚀
Ever wonder what powers seamless, real-time experiences behind the scenes at top online casinos? Recently, we helped a leading operator level up their game by migrating their core bets database from standard Postgres to TimescaleDB. Here’s what changed 👇
Blocked Bloom Filters Technical Deep Dive 🚀 Building the fastest Postgres just got more interesting. Point lookups in columnar storage have always been a challenge—scanning entire columns for single values is expensive, especially at scale. That's why we're excited to share…
🚀 Great first week as TigerData (formerly Timescale), and we keep pushing boundaries. Our database team is testing a new compressed copy ingest method, writing data straight into our columnstore. It’s still in internal tech preview, but already hitting 16M rows/sec on a…
