  • Why I'm Learning ROS 2 as a Database Person
    5 projects | dev.to | 1 May 2026
    I work at Tiger Data doing developer relations for TimescaleDB. Time-series data is literally my job. When I started looking at how ROS 2 handles recorded telemetry at scale, I saw something familiar: high-frequency sequential writes, stable append rates, a recording format optimized for replay rather than analysis, no real query story for "compare behavior across 200 runs without loading everything into memory."

    timescaledb A solution by Timescale. Provides a lot more functions to handle time series than pg_timeseries. Low latency makes it adequate for real-time analytics. Supports incremental views through continuous aggregates. Has some overlap with pg_mooncake, but can't write to Iceberg or Delta Lake, using them directly as the storage layer. Supports tiered storage

    Even for timeseries there is https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb. Haven't used it, just knew it existed.
  • Why You Shouldn’t Invest In Vector Databases?
    12 projects | dev.to | 24 Apr 2025
    In fact, even in the absence of these commercial databases, users can effortlessly install PostgreSQL and leverage its built-in pgvector functionality for vector search. PostgreSQL stands as the benchmark in the realm of open-source databases, offering comprehensive support across various domains of database management. It excels in transaction processing (e.g., CockroachDB), online analytics (e.g., DuckDB), stream processing (e.g., RisingWave), time series analysis (e.g., Timescale), spatial analysis (e.g., PostGIS), and more. For non-professional users seeking to explore vector databases, they can readily download the open-source PostgreSQL or utilize managed services like Supabase and Neon to establish their own basic AI applications. Other than PostgreSQL, several open-source databases, including OpenSearch, ClickHouse, and Cassandra, have implemented their own vector search functionality. You do not need to adopt a new vector database if you have already used these systems.
