You threw out a database because it didn’t offer compression in your specific use case? That’s it?

Just solve compression on the block level, why are you so specific about it happening in the database? It’s probably one of the least interesting feature comparisons when betting on which database to trust.




Not all compression is created equally. Timeseries data has well-defined characteristics that generic block level compression doesn't understand. It's a great example where application-level compression is worthwhile. The proof is in the pudding.
