# TigerData

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/databases/tigerdata/

Managed TimescaleDB — Postgres for time-series and real-time analytics — priced with compute and storage billed separately.

## Who it suits

Time-series and analytics workloads that want to stay in Postgres — TimescaleDB's compression is the reason the storage line is affordable at volume.

Consider something else if The advertised storage price assumes 5x compression, so a workload that does not compress that well pays materially more than the figure suggests.
