Tiger Data - Creators of TimescaleDB

🐯 @TimescaleDB is now TigerData! 🚀

When we launched Timescale, the top Hacker News comment said it was “a bad idea.”

PostgreSQL wasn’t supposed to be fast.
Or scalable.
Or useful for time-series.

8 years later:
-2,000 customers
-8-digit ARR
-Most workloads aren’t even time-series anymore

We’ve changed our name to reflect that evolution:

Timescale is now TigerData.

Same code. Same team. Still PostgreSQL. Just a lot faster.

Float collects energy data every second. The Danish grid settles every 15 min. Continuous Aggregates bridge the gap: no batch jobs, no pipelines. 99.3% compression keeps it viable. tsdb.co/bjgkrzh1

Postgres handles 90% of workloads well.

The other 10%: append-only writes, sustained ingest, time-range aggregations. If all three apply, you're not in a tuning problem. You're in an architecture problem.

One query confirms it: tsdb.co/postgresql-fit…

The focus of our June 17 newsletter: doing less unnecessary work on every layer of the stack.

In this edition:
▪ TimescaleDB 2.27: bloom filter pruning extends to UPDATE, DELETE, and UPSERT, plus 30% to 2x faster vectorized execution
▪ When PostgreSQL isn't the right fit (and the one pg_stat_user_tables query that tells you which workload you have)
▪ Why analytical scans read 16x more data than they need to
▪ How a Unified Namespace determines your historian schema before you write a CREATE TABLE
▪ New Kepware and Fivetran integration guides

Plus four June events: a CERN webinar, our team at Data Driven Oil & Gas in Houston, the FIFA World Cup watch party that same night, and a hands-on Sensor-to-Insight workshop June 30.

At Hannover Messe 2026, Tiger Data co-founder and CTO Mike Freedman sat with @IIoT_World co-founder Lucian Fogoros to break down how @TimescaleDB runs 10x faster than SQL Server, Oracle, or MongoDB at a fraction of the footprint.

They also covered the formal partnership with Inductive Automation after seven years of organic Ignition Community adoption, and the launch of TimescaleDB Enterprise for facilities where data cannot leave the building.
