Or just use TimescaleDB which is competitive on most axes but already PG.

Thanks for the mentions (and for using TimescaleDB).

If anyone's curious about TimescaleDB, it's packaged as an extension to Postgres, optimizing for performance, storage, and analysis of time series data. Implementing columnar compression algorithms is a big part of the secret sauce that makes TimescaleDB a popular choice with Postgres and SQL developers. You can read more about that on the Timescale blog (I'm Timescale's community manager btw). https://www.timescale.com/blog/search/?query=compression

If anyone's curious, the youtube channel may be a good place to start, especially this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsceB9ac9MHTtM1XWONMR...

+1 for Timescale. Used it for a few RNN projects and it's been great.
And I +1 your +1, we've been using it in prod for 2 years or so.
