About Citus
Citus gives you the Postgres you love, plus the superpower of distributed tables. 100% open source. Now with schema-based and row-based sharding, plus Postgres 16 support. Scale Postgres by distributing data & queries. You can start with a single Citus node, then add nodes & rebalance shards when you need to grow. Speed up queries by 20x to 300x (or more) through parallelism, keeping more data in memory, higher I/O bandwidth, and columnar compression. Citus is an extension (not a fork) to the latest Postgres versions, so you can use your familiar SQL toolset & leverage your Postgres expertise. Reduce your infrastructure headaches by using a single database for both your transactional and analytical workloads. Download and use Citus open source for free. You can manage Citus yourself, embrace open source, and help us improve Citus via GitHub. Focus on your application & forget about your database. Run your app on Citus in the cloud with Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
