About:
Citus is an extension that transforms PostgreSQL into a distributed database, enabling horizontal scaling across multiple nodes. It allows you to distribute queries and data across a cluster for improved performance and scalability. This makes it ideal for building high-performance, multi-tenant applications.
Key Features:
  • Distributed SQL query engine
  • Automatic data sharding and reference tables
  • Real-time analytics and high-throughput workloads
  • Native PostgreSQL compatibility
  • Multi-tenant isolation
Use Cases:
  • Scaling SaaS applications with high transaction volumes
  • Real-time analytics dashboards on large datasets
  • Multi-tenant database architectures
Alternatives:
  • PostgreSQL with Citus – Citus is an extension for PostgreSQL, whereas other distributed SQL databases like CockroachDB or YugabyteDB are standalone systems built from the ground up for distribution.
