I tried exactly this - loading polygon.io data into TimescaleDB, and it was very inefficient.

Ended up using ClickHouse - much smaller on disk, and much faster on all metrics.

Interesting. I'm not familiar with ClickHouse. I've been manually triggering compression and continuous aggregates have been a huge boon. The database has been the least of my concerns. Can you tell me more about it?
