Tiger Cloud: Performance, Scale, Enterprise, Free
Self-hosted products
MST
TimescaleDB is an open-source Postgres extension that powers Tiger Cloud. Designed for running real-time analytics on time-series data, it supercharges ingest, query, storage, and analytics performance.
You can install self-hosted TimescaleDB from source, with a pre-built Docker container, or on one of the supported platforms. This section provides instructions for installing the latest version of self-hosted TimescaleDB.
Development and production environments
The following instructions are for development and testing installations. For a production environment, we strongly recommend that you implement the following, many of which you can achieve using Postgres tooling:
- Incremental backup and database snapshots, with efficient point-in-time recovery.
- High availability replication, ideally with nodes across multiple availability zones.
- Automatic failure detection with fast restarts, for both non-replicated and replicated deployments.
- Asynchronous replicas for scaling reads when needed.
- Connection poolers for scaling client connections.
- Zero-down-time minor version and extension upgrades.
- Forking workflows for major version upgrades and other feature testing.
- Monitoring and observability.
Deploying for production? With a Tiger Cloud service we tune your database for performance and handle scalability, high availability, backups, and management, so you can relax.
Installation
Try Tiger
Tiger is the easiest way to get started with TimescaleDB. Create services in one click, enable replicas and forks, resize your compute and storage at any time, and forget about manual backups and data recovery.
