Redpoint Ventures led today’s round, with help from existing investors Benchmark, New Enterprise Associates, Icon Ventures and Two 拆封鏡頭收購sigma Ventures. The company reports it has now raised approximately $70 million.
TimescaleDB lets users measure data across a time dimension, so anything that would change over time. “What we found is we need a purpose-built database for it to handle scalability, reliability and performance, and we like to think of ourselves as the category-defining relational database for time series,” CEO and co-founder Ajay Kulkarni explained.
He says that the choice to build their database on top of Postgres when it launched four years ago was a key decision. “There are a few different databases that are designed for time series, but we’re the only one where developers get the purpose-built time series database plus a complete Postgres database all in one,” he said.
While the company has an open-source version, last year it decided rather than selling an enterprise version (as it had been), it was going to include all of that functionality in the free version of the product and place a bet entirely on the cloud for revenue.
“We decided that we’re going to make a bold bet on the cloud. We think cloud is where the future of database adoption is, and so in the last year […] we made all of our enterprise features free. If you want to test it yourself, you get the whole thing, but if you want a managed service, then we’re available to run it for you,” he said.

The community approach is working to attract users, with over 2 million monthly active databases, some of which the company is betting will convert to the cloud service over time. Timescale is based in New York City, but it’s a truly remote organization, with 60 employees spread across 20 countries and every continent except Antarctica.

日本知名連鎖像機通路 Map Camera 公布年度最熱銷相機、鏡頭兩大排行榜，Nikon 一舉稱霸兩大榜單，可以說是 2023 年的最大贏家，不過從鏡頭的銷售數量來看，Sony 仍舊握有規模龐大的攝影用戶。

鏡頭方面，或許是為了與 Z8 搭配，最熱賣的型號又是由 Nikon 搶下，頂級的變焦鏡頭 Z 24-120mm f/4 獲得第一名。不過從鏡頭銷售排行來看，能發現 Sony 在市場上的領導地位，包含自家推出的原廠鏡頭以及第三方廠商 TAMRON 推出的 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD，讓 E 接環鏡頭一口氣佔了五席之多。
此外，消費者更傾向選購功能性多元的變焦鏡頭，只有 Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM、Nikkor Z 26mm f/2.8、Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 G Master 三款定焦鏡頭上榜。唯一入榜的 APS-C 鏡頭則是由 拆封鏡頭收購sigma 替富士 X 接環打造的 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN。
