> "timescale ... are just reinventing the column store"
Not reinventing but reimplementing it for Postgres, which didn't have serious OLAP capabilities before. Lots of "newsql" systems are combining OLTP and OLAP by starting at one side and adding the other.
So far Timescale has column-oriented compressed storage and scale-out partitioning, and they're working on matching the compute part.
