There is a lot of marketing in that blog post but I feel the tldr is that it is a rebranding of forge (their second in-house cloud offering) that will eventually replace their outsourced timescaledb cloud (first offering by aiven).
Am I correct? If so what is the plan for existing customers of those services? Especially since forge didnt support other clouds than AWS last time I checked.
Not exactly right - seems like we could have clarified the difference more :-)
We have two cloud products, Timescale Cloud (which is what this post is discussing), and Managed Service for TimescaleDB (MST), which is what you are also referencing.
Also, as we say in the post:
Some of you may remember that we launched the first “Timescale Cloud” 2.5 years ago, as the world’s first fully-managed time-series database-as-a-service on AWS, GCP, Azure. That product is alive and well, and fully supported as before, but is now called “Managed Service for TimescaleDB”.
We're investing in and maintaining both. They are just different products, depending on what you are looking for.
