It would be great to see similar comparison for TimescaleDB vs VictoriaMetrics :) There are some benchmarks ([1], [2], [3]) that compare performance and resource usage between TimescaleDB, InfluxDB and VictoriaMetrics, but these benchmarks may be outdated.

Hi valyala (cofounder of VictoriaMetrics) — I know we’ve talked about this several times before already, so you should know — those benchmarks you linked are from 2018. They pre-date many key features in TimescaleDB, including features like native compression, which invalidate many of those findings. So they aren’t really relevant or valid anymore. Just don’t want people to draw wrong conclusions.
