  • Dear data engineers

    Assuming these are the types of insights you're looking for, you'll probably look for a way to aggregate data points across/within geographies. postgis is an open source extension for postgres that can help you with this, but there's also quite a few python tools that can help you explore the data, such as geopandas, folium, geoplot. Depending on volume, you might want to partition the data for query performance, and there's another extension pg_partman that can help with that. Just noticed some other posts have recommended something similar.

    Whenever I see these posts from TimescaleDB, I always want to ask them how it compares in performance to alternative extensions that implement the same features, rather than just comparing TimescaleDB to vanilla PostgreSQL.

    For example, they mention their automated data retention and how it's achieved with one SQL command, and how DELETEing records is a very costly operation, and how "even if you were using Postgres declarative partitioning you’d still need to automate the process yourself, wasting precious developer time, adding additional requirements, and implementing bespoke code that needs to be supported moving forward".

    There's zero mention anywhere of pg_partman, which does all of these things for you equally as simply, and is a fully OSS free alternative [0].

    I get that it's a PG extension that competes with their product. I know that TimescaleDB does a few other things that pg_partman does not. But I can't help but find its (seemingly) purposeful omission in these, otherwise very thorough blog posts, misleading.

    You might want to look into pg_partman which has many useful tools around semi-automatic partitioning. According to their documentation they already have a procedure that will do exactly that: create new partitions based on the rows in the default partition.
