This demo of scaling out Postgres with the Citus extension to Postgres is useful for developers building customer-facing analytics dashboards who need to ingest data in real time while delivering sub-second responses; and for teams looking for a way to consolidate database platforms, to avoid having separate data stores for your transactional (OLTP) and analytics (OLAP) workloads. Citus is also a frequent choice for SaaS companies building multi-tenant B2B applications.
Citus is available as open source, as a fully-managed database as a service, and as enterprise software. The Citus extension to Postgres was created by the team at Citus Data, now part of the Microsoft family.
