(Timescale co-founder / CEO)
I just want to say that we wouldn't be here without the support, feedback -- and yes, even the honest critiques -- from the HN community. So thank you everyone.
As we like to say, we've come a long way in the past 5 years, but we're just getting started :-)
And we're hiring globally for our remote-first team!
Congrats and I was wondering if you can comment on the current team size? I'm looking at the number of contributors that have created pull requests within the last four months and it is shockingly low (in a good way). Based on the following:
https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=pull-age%3A%3C%3D...
It looks like there has only really been 7-10 full time contributors and for you to have raised what you have with such a small team is quite impressive. Is development happening elsewhere or is my hunch correct?
Edit: Thanks to feedback from mfreed, below is a more accurate picture of development activity:
https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?p=authors&q=pull-ag...
The core timescaledb repo [0] currently has 10-15 primary engineers, with a few others working on DB hyperfunctions and our function pipelining [1] in a separate extension [2]. I think generally the set of outside folks who contribute to low-level database internals in C is just smaller than other type of projects.
We also have our promscale product [3], which is our observability backend powered by SQL & TimescaleDB.
And then there is Timescale Cloud [4], which is obviously a large engineering effort, most of which does not happen in public repos.
Interested? We're growing the teams aggressively! Fully remote & global.
