Does anybody actually use any of CitusData's stuff in production? I've heard that their free extensions are mostly junk and then when they don't work they try to get you to buy their proprietary components.


(Ozgun from Citus Data)

Both our open source extensions and the (currently) proprietary CitusDB product are heavily used in production. For example, https://blog.cloudflare.com/scaling-out-postgresql-for-cloud...

We're working on improving all our products, and we welcome your feedback.

Could you elaborate more on what you'd like to see? Please also feel free to use GitHub issues on our open source projects or hit me directly at ozgun at citusdata.com.


just a note: the next version (CitusDB 5.0) will be Open Source: https://twitter.com/frsyuki/status/667031289506062336

- Be compatible with the latest version of PostgreSQL, v9.5

- Have an open source community edition "

"Have an open source community edition" is not the same as "will be Open Source".
