(Timescale founder) As someone points out elsewhere, the difference between TimescaleDB and PipelineDB is more akin to raw data and materialized aggregates (Timescale) vs. streaming summary data (Pipeline).

So we are big fans of what the PipelineDB team are building and see value in using both.

(And if you are interested in how TimescaleDB's hypertable/chunk architecture plus other optimizations (e.g. at the query planner level) lead to both higher inserts and faster queries compared to Postgres: https://blog.timescale.com/timescaledb-vs-6a696248104e)
