Our Timescale dbs are on individual hosts, separate from our main Postgres servers.

So standalone systems to be upgraded individually as required.

Hi Brent

how do you plan to cope with future upgrades based on logical replication ? Do you run timescale on a dedicated/separate system from the rest of your PostgreSQL cluster(s)?

Thanks Amitabh abd Brent, how do you plan to cope with future upgrades based on logical replication ? Do you run timescale on a dedicated/separate system from the rest of your PostgreSQL cluster(s)?

I don't use the inbuilt logical replication. I depend upon pgBackRest for my backups. My database is mainly time series data, and runs on the same systems. 
thanks
