What is wrong with running without lots of abstractions? We are clear about the downsides. The results are clear, you can see the customers love it. We run insane amounts of state safely on ephemeral compute. It's a flex. All I've seen from Timescale people is qqing. Write some code or be quiet.




I'm not criticizing your engineering approach at all. Running everything in one box has its merits as your benchmarks show but it is also just not apples to apples there are other trade-offs and I am just appreciating that the community calls that out.

Also hey this is HN not Twitter I think we can be a bit more civilized. Not a good look imo for a CEO to get that upset over a harmless comment.


We run 3 nodes not 1. Your comment is not in isolation we get constant shade from Timescale people when we don't even think about you.
