Is Citus suitable for active-active PostgreSQL? #1046

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Based on the documentation it is hard to find out if one of the use cases of Citus is an active-active PostgreSQL deployment to ensure global scalability with low latency in multiple regions.

If this is the case, I would recommend to make that clear in the docs. If not, please correct me.

Hello, Citus itself doesn't handle that. For high availability, you would pair it with other PostgreSQL tooling.

Thanks for the tip about making that clearer in the docs.
