Опубликовано 2 декабря 2016, 0:21

Join the principal engineer of Citus Cloud for a brief overview of Citus, best use cases for it, and a drill down into how it's run and managed as a hosted service on top of AWS. The orchestration of Citus is homegrown, but comes from years of experience of running millions of PostgreSQL databases on top of AWS. Even if you aren't looking to leverage Citus to help you scale out, in this session you'll gain insights applicable to running and managing your stateful services on top of AWS. Citus is a PostgreSQL extension that transforms the database into a distributed, horizontally scalable database. Companies like Cloudflare use Citus to process 40 TB per day. With Citus MX, applications can take advantage of every node in the cluster for writes and yielding near-linear write scaling. Citus MX provide up to 500,000 durable writes per second.
