TimescaleDB is an open-source time series database[3][4][5] developed by Timescale Inc. It is written in C and extends PostgreSQL.[6][7] TimescaleDB is a relational database[8] and supports standard SQL queries. Additional SQL functions and table structures provide support for time series data oriented towards storage, performance, and analysis facilities for data-at-scale.[9]
One of the key features of TimescaleDB is its performance, which has been compared to InfluxDB.[10] Time-based data partitioning provides for improved query execution and performance when used for time oriented applications.[11] More granular partition definition is achieved through the use of user defined attributes.[12]
TimescaleDB is offered as open source software under the Apache 2.0 license. Additional features are offered in a community edition as source available software under the Timescale License Agreement (TLS).[13]
History
Timescale was founded by Ajay Kulkarni (CEO)[14] and Michael J. Freedman (CTO) in response to their need for a database solution to support internet of things workloads.[15]

"For example, the emergence of reliable, open-source, timeseries databases, such as InfluxDB and TimescaleDB, have made them indispensable tools upon which to build metric-driven workflows (Assay, 2019).The value in these specialized data-stores is in their singluar focus around ingesting and vending massive amounts of tagged measurements at specific points in time. The optimization and specificity to common issues related to measurement in general --- as well as their open-source licenses --- have made them indispensable solutions for a wide range of needs requiring measurement at scale."
