SaaS apps grow fast, and need to scale while still providing a snappy user experience. Citus shards Postgres transparently at the data layer. And Citus makes it easy to add nodes & rebalance shards. So you can scale out as your app grows, without giving up Postgres.
LEARN MORETime series workloads often need to grow beyond the resources of a single node. Capabilities such as the distributed query engine, columnar compression, parallel query, distributed DML… all combine to make Citus a good fit for time partitioned workloads.
LEARN MORECitus distributes and parallelizes Postgres workloads—and is often used as a system of record for SaaS apps, and as a system of engagement for analytics dashboards and time series data. Sometimes, teams use Citus as their relational database for mixed transactional and analytics workloads, to avoid managing multiple different types of databases. Other teams use Citus for high throughput transactional apps. What most Citus users have in common: performance really matters to them—at scale.
SaaS teams choose Citus to shard Postgres, so they don’t have to re-architect their app to shard at the application layer. Developers building analytics dashboards tell us that distributed Postgres is a game changer. Citus is a fit for many types of data-intensive apps, including geospatial analytics (PostGIS), behavioral analytics—plus video, web, and operational analytics. And the new columnar storage feature in Citus 10 is a powerful addition to the ways Citus can help you scale your applications.
