Real-time. Big data. PostgreSQL
The amount of time businesses spend on their databases is altogether too much time. Citus is fixing this problem. Citus is worry-free Postgres. Built to scale out, Citus is an extension to Postgres that is available as open source, as enterprise software that can be run on-prem or on any cloud, and as a fully-managed database as a service. Whether you have a multi-tenant application that needs to scale out, or you need performance for your real-time analytics customers, with Citus, you can focus on your app—not your database. Founded in 2011, Citus Data is venture backed by Khosla Ventures and Data Collective. Citus is a Y Combinator alumnus and has offices in San Francisco’s SoMa district and Istanbul, Turkey.

Citus Data delivers a distributed Postgres database by horizontally scaling with schema-based and row-based sharding. It operates as an open-source extension and as a managed service, enabling real-time analytics and multi-tenant SaaS workloads at scale.
Citus extends Postgres to scale out by distributing data and queries across multiple nodes. Users start with a single node and can add nodes to rebalance shards as they grow. It enables a single database for transactional and analytical workloads, supports schema-based sharding for easy onboarding, and provides features tailored for multi-tenant SaaS apps, real-time analytics dashboards, and microservices architectures.
Who it’s for: Multi-tenant SaaS apps; Real-time analytics teams; Microservices architectures requiring scalable Postgres.
