> I can, without a doubt, tell you that Clickhouse spanks the crap out of TimescaleDB.

Same. I'm ready to believe my experience is not representative, but I've rarely heard something different after talking to people who've seriously evaluated both.

> Clickhouse is to TimescaleDB what Nginx was to Apache.

Perfect comparison. Except I don't remember Apache cooking some tests to pretend they are faster than nginx, or astroturfing communities :)

Different tools serve different purposes, simple as that.

If TimescaleDB or Apache does the job for you, stick with them.

When you will want to scale / increase performance or just rewrite, chose the better option of the day.

In 2021, Clickhouse should be a recommended default, like nginx.
