8 keys to the growth of Citus & Distributed PostgreSQL
summary
Citus adds distributed tables to PostgreSQL by shipping as an extension rather than a fork, enabling unforking from Postgres and same-day support for new PG releases (PG14 on Azure). It powers SaaS and Fortune 500 workloads with distributed transactions, a managed cloud offering called Hyperscale Citus, and a global engineering team who carry the pager. Adoption hits over a million downloads per year and Citus 11 is in beta after Microsoft’s 2019 acquisition and ongoing investment.
