orion138··on What makes Intel Optane stand out (2023)

orion138··on Timescale, an open-source time-series SQL database for PostgreSQL
Great work! I was curious about a few things:

1) Are you planning on using citus for clustering? Or will you have your own clustering implementation separate from Citus?

2) Can you still use barman, wal-e, etc for backups?

3) What are you guys using to generate docs.timescale.com? :)

4) Do you use any sort of custom on disk format?

5) Do you plan on implementing any sort of delta compression?

6) Is there/do you plan to have support for creating roll up/aggregation tables?

Cheers!
