I've been considering TimescaleDB for some use cases. Specifically to keep a transactional log of messages sent out.

Has anyone independently benchmarked TimescaleDB vs Postgres w/ B-Tree vs Postgres w/ BRIN? Given that most timescale data would benefit greatly from BRIN, I'm surprised their various blog posts never cover it.

I have discovered one person who tried to replicate some of the benchmarks around Postgres vs TimescaleDB (back in 2019), but they came up with data that contradicts the latest blog post around TimescaleDB vs Postgres performance, which makes me reconsider whether I really need what TimescaleDB provides. Maybe there have been large changes since then?
