Citus Blog

In both Citus Cloud 2 and in the enterprise edition of Citus 7.1 there was a pretty big update to one of our flagship features—the shard rebalancer. No, I’m not talking about our shard rebalancer visualization that reminds me of the Windows '95 disk defrag. (Side-node: At one point I tried to persuade my engineering team to play tetris music in the background while the shard rebalancer UI in Citus Cloud was running. The good news for all of you is that I was overwhelmingly veto'ed by my team. Whew.) The interesting new capability in the Citus database is the online nature of our shard rebalancer.
