TimescaleDB extends PostgreSQL with time-series features that dramatically improve IIoT performance. By partitioning data into hypertables, it maintains high ingest rates without slowdown, speeds up queries through chunk exclusion and continuous aggregates, and cuts storage costs by up to 90% with compression. The result is a scalable system that handles more data, faster queries, and lower costs without changing…
