01.Evaluation guide

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.
