Welcome to Timescale Documentation

TimescaleDB expands PostgreSQL for time series and analytics. Handle relentless streams of time-series data with the performance, scalability, and usability that your application needs.

Timescale Cloud is the high-performance hosted database for TimescaleDB. It combines the power of PostgreSQL with time-series and analytics features. Your development team is freed to focus less on your database and more on your application.

If you prefer to self-host your database instead, you can add the TimescaleDB extension to your PostgreSQL instance for free.
