TimescaleDB was such a great project!

I'm really sad to see them waste the opportunity and instead build an nth managed cloud on top of AWS, chasing buzzword after buzzword.

Had they made deals with cloud providers to offer managed TimescaleDB so they can focus on their core value proposition they could have won the timeseries business, but ClickHouse made them irrelevant and Neon already has won the "Postgres for agents" business thanks to a better architecture than this.

Thanks for the kind words about TimescaleDB :-)

We think we're still building great things, and our customers seem to agree.

Usage is at an all-time high, revenue is at an all-time high, and we’re having more fun than ever.

Hopefully we’ll win you back soon.

Does Tiger Cloud support multi-region clusters? We are using aurora postgresql currently but it is straining (our budget and itself).
Currently support multi-AZ clusters and multi-region disaster recovery (continuous PITR between regions).

We're continuing to evaluate demand for multi-region clusters, love to hear from you.
