There was a similar sub-discussion on the Datomic Cloud announcement last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16168041#16168743

As an open source product it seems like TimescaleDB is less risky than Datomic. (Not that the comparison is even necessary -- I don't think they compete in the same category apart from both being non-relational DBs.)

[edit:link fixed, thanks! (and thanks for taking the time to correct my misunderstanding re:TimescaleDB as a relational DB)]

Hi, the link you posted seems broken. Also just wanted to clarify that TimescaleDB is in fact a relational database, being built as a PostgreSQL extension. Looking at the nature of time-series workloads (namely appending data about recent events) we can architect the database differently for time-series workloads and applications powered by time-series data; scaling insert rates and storage capacity, increasing query performance and simplifying operations, while retaining full-SQL and the reliability of Postgres.
