About Citus (Microsoft)
Citus is an open source extension to PostgreSQL that transforms it into a distributed database capable of scaling horizontally across multiple nodes. Designed for enterprises needing to manage large volumes of transactional and analytical workloads, Citus enables seamless scaling by distributing data and queries via schema-based and row-based sharding. This approach allows organizations to start with a single node and expand their database cluster as demand grows, without sacrificing the familiarity and robustness of PostgreSQL.
Ideal for multi-tenant SaaS applications, real-time analytics dashboards, and microservices architectures, Citus supports transparent sharding, low-latency query processing, and efficient data ingestion. Its schema-based sharding model simplifies integration with existing applications and microservices, enabling enterprises to consolidate workloads on a single distributed database platform. By leveraging Citus, CIOs can reduce infrastructure complexity, improve performance at scale, and maintain full compatibility with the PostgreSQL ecosystem.
