TimescaleDB is an open source database for time series data; we first heard about TimescaleDB when we investigated standalone PostgREST because it had TimescaleDB as a built-in extension. Obviously, PostgREST is also able to create a timing API for TimescaleDB.
Unfortunately, the PostgreSQL RDS does not support TimescaleDB. If we would like to install TimescaleDB for AWS, we will have to use the recently invented Timescale Cloud to connect to AWS. Timescale Cloud can support TimescaleDB for AWS:
