Yes this is a partnership with Aiven.

Aiven Postgres supports the open-source version of TimescaleDB.

But Timescale Cloud is the only hosted service where you can get the full TimescaleDB experience, which includes our community and enterprise features (eg interpolation, data retention policies, continuous aggregates, data reordering, etc). [1]

It also includes special machines types and plans more suited for time-series data that we co-developed with Aiven.

It is also the only hosted service directly staffed by the TimescaleDB development team.
