Hypertables

Hypertables are PostgreSQL tables that automatically partition your data by time. You get the full benefit of PostgreSQL, plus extra features that make managing your time-series data much easier.

Continuous aggregates

Time-series data usually grows very quickly. That means aggregating your data into useful summaries can become very slow. Continuous aggregates incrementally aggregate your data, so it becomes lightning fast to get updated summaries.

Compression

Compressing your time-series data allows you to decrease your chunk size by more than 90%. This saves on storage costs, and keeps your queries operating at lightning speed.
