Learn what's new in the Citus 13.0 release blog and the Citus Updates page. --- What is Citus? Citus is a PostgreSQL extension that transforms Postgres into a distributed database—so you can achieve high performance at any scale. With Citus, you extend your PostgreSQL database with new superpowers: - Distributed tables are sharded across a cluster of PostgreSQL nodes to combine their CPU, memory, storage and I/O capacity. - Reference tables are replicated to all nodes for joins and foreign keys from distributed tables and to maximize read performance. - Distributed query engine routes and parallelizes SELECT, DML, and other operations on distributed tables across the cluster. - Columnar storage compresses data, speeds up scans, and supports fast projections, both on regular and distributed tables. - Query from any node enables you to utilize the full capacity of your cluster for distributed queries You can use these Citus superpowers to make your Postgres database scale-out ready on a single Citus node. Or you can build a large cluster capable of handling high transaction throughputs , especially in multi-tenant apps , run fast analytical queries , and process large amounts of time series or IoT data for real-time analytics . When your data size and volume grow, you can easily add more worker nodes to the cluster and rebalance the shards.
