PostgreSQL extension that transforms Postgres into a distributed database
Description
Citus horizontally scales PostgreSQL across commodity servers
using sharding and replication. Its query engine parallelizes
incoming SQL queries across these servers to enable real-time
responses on large datasets.
Citus extends the underlying database rather than forking it,
which gives developers and enterprises the power and familiarity
of a traditional relational database. As an extension, Citus
supports new PostgreSQL releases, allowing users to benefit from
new features while maintaining compatibility with existing
PostgreSQL tools. Note that Citus supports many (but not all) SQL
commands.
