Citus 13.0 is out! Now with PG17 Support. Read all about it in Naisila’s 13.0 blog post 💥
Citus 11.0 is here! Citus is a PostgreSQL extension that adds distributed database superpowers to PostgreSQL. With Citus, you can create tables that are transparently distributed or replicated across a cluster of PostgreSQL nodes. Citus 11.0 is a new major release, which means that it comes with some very exciting new features that enable new levels of scalability.
The biggest enhancement in Citus 11.0 is that you can now always run distributed queries from any node in the cluster because the schema & metadata are automatically synchronized. We already shared some of the details in the Citus 11.0 beta blog post, but we also have big surprise for those of you who use Citus open source that was not part of the initial beta.
When we do a new Citus release, we usually release 2 versions: The open source version and the enterprise release which includes a few extra features. However, there will be only one version of Citus 11.0, because everything in the Citus extension is now fully open source!
That means that you can now rebalance shards without blocking writes, manage roles across the cluster, isolate tenants to their own shards, and more. All this comes on top of the already massive enhancement in Citus 11.0: You can query your Citus cluster from any node, creating a truly distributed PostgreSQL experience.
