Citus 10 is out! New features include columnar storage & Citus on a single node—plus we’ve open-sourced the shard rebalancer. Read the Citus 10 blog.
One of the big new things in Citus 10 is that you can now shard Postgres on a single Citus node. So in addition to using the Citus extension to Postgres to scale out Postgres across a distributed cluster, you can now also:
- Try out Citus on a single node with just a few simple commands
- Shard Postgres on a single Citus node to be “scale-out-ready”
- Simplify CI/CD pipelines by testing with single-node Citus
The Citus 10 release is chock full of new capabilities like columnar storage for Postgres, the open sourcing of the shard rebalancer, as well as the feature we are going to explore here: using Citus on a single node.
