PostgreSQL Extensions: Using PostGIS for Geospatial and Time-Series Data
The data landscape is vast and multifaceted, with different kinds of data requiring different handling techniques. For geospatial data, PostGIS extends PostgreSQL with powerful capabilities for handling location data. When combined with Timescale's time-series functionality, you get a database superpower: the ability to track "where" and "when" together. Let's explore how to set up and use these tools together to build powerful location-aware, time-series applications.
