TimescaleDB Hypertable Setup

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for configuring TimescaleDB to handle insert-heavy data patterns like IoT metrics, financial transactions, and application logs. It assists developers in making critical architectural decisions, including selecting optimal partition columns, configuring columnstore compression via segment_by and order_by parameters, and establishing automated data retention policies. By following these implementation patterns, users can ensure their time-series databases are optimized for both storage efficiency and rapid query performance across massive datasets.
