Citus Blog

Recently, I started working on the django-multitenant application. The main reason we created it was to to help django developers use citus in their app. While I was working on it, I wrote unit tests. And to be able to reproduce a customer’s production environment, I wanted the tests to use citus and not a single node postgres. If you are using citus as your production database, we encourage you to have it running in your development environment as well as your staging environments to be able to minimise the gap between dev and production. To understand better the importance of dev/prod parity, I recommend reading the Twelve-Factor app that will give you ideas to lower the chances of having last minute surprising when deploying on prod.
