Full title includes a summary of benchmark results for the lazy:

Timescaledb achieved 6000x higher inserts, 5-175x faster queries, 150x-220x cheaper

Benchmarks open-source, methodology in post.

If I were them I wouldn't rest on my laurels. v1 from AWS is an MVP. It will keep getting improved.

I'd like to see those numbers 2-3 years from now.

I'd also shout as widely as possible why their product is better to limit the traction AWS's offering gets.

Timescale employee here. We generally update our benchmark blogs every year to keep them fresh. No doubt you'll see the updated results here on HN as well!

Yup, I would've kept it in the submission except the full title is 16 characters too long for the HN Title field. It felt weird to only include part of it, so I just chopped all of it off.

Oh yeah sorry - didn't intend as a criticism! I think the hn headline should be concise, what you have was perfect. _Maybe_ adding the word "benchmarks" could have clarified but you cover more than that in the post.
