TimescaleDB is an open-source time series database developed by Timescale Inc. It is written in C (programming language) and extends PostgreSQL.[1] TimescaleDB supports standard SQL queries and is a relational database.[2] Additional SQL functions and table structures provide support for time series data oriented towards storage, performance, and analysis facilities for data-at-scale.[3] Time-based data partitioning provides for improved query execution and performance when used for time oriented applications.[4] More granular partition definition is achieved through the use of user defined attributes.[5]

TimescaleDB is offered as open source software under the Apache License|Apache 2.0 license. Additional features are offered in a community edition as source available software under the Timescale License Agreement (TLS).[6]

History

Timescale was founded by Ajay Kulkarni (CEO) and Michael J. Freedman (CTO) in response to their need for a database solution to support internet of things workloads.[7]
