Current implementation of database distribution in TimescaleDB is centralised where all traffics go through an access node, which distributes the load into data nodes. The implementation uses 2PC. Abilities of PostgreSQL to generate distributed query plans are utilised together with TimescaleDB optimisations. So PostgreSQL is used not just a dumb storage :)

The access node is replicated using streaming replication and is thus not a SPOF.
