  TimescaleDB (now part of Tiger Data) is a PostgreSQL-native time-series database
  featuring hypertables, columnstore (Hypercore), continuous aggregates, retention
  policies and hyperfunctions. The managed Tiger Cloud platform exposes a public
  REST API for managing projects, services, VPCs, peering and read replicas, while
  the database itself is consumed via standard PostgreSQL wire protocol.
