Case Study: Messari Reduces Storage Requirements with TimescaleDB

Messari is a data analytics and research company on a mission to organize and contextualize information for crypto professionals

Messari, a leading provider of crypto market intelligence products, needed a database that could keep up with the high volume and velocity of blockchain data powering its real-time, customer-facing analytics and dashboards. Its existing infrastructure struggled with slow query times, high storage costs, and difficulty processing large datasets fast enough to deliver timely insights.

By migrating to TimescaleDB from Timescale, Messari improved data ingestion and storage efficiency with advanced compression and continuous aggregates. The result was a 94% reduction in storage requirements, much faster query performance, and a more scalable, cost-effective platform for real-time analytics and complex reporting.
