Fully managed and open-source, ScaleGrid for PostgreSQL Citus brings effortless horizontal scalability to your favorite database—without rewrites or infrastructure headaches. Build faster, scale smarter.
AVAILABLE ON
PostgreSQL® is renowned for its robustness and extensibility—but scaling it horizontally has traditionally been complex. That’s where Citus comes in, transforming PostgreSQL into a distributed database through native sharding and parallel query execution. ScaleGrid simplifies this even further by delivering fully managed, open-source Citus deployments for PostgreSQL across any cloud.
With just a few clicks, you can configure your topology—coordinator and worker nodes, high availability, preferred cloud provider, and regions for each node—and ScaleGrid takes care of the rest. From provisioning and replication to monitoring and backups, we handle the ops so you can focus on performance and growth. You retain full control via root and SSH access, while our intuitive UI and automation tools streamline management. Backed by 24×7 support, it’s the fastest path to a production-grade distributed PostgreSQL® cluster.
Explore how easy it is to scale PostgreSQL® with Citus—without compromising flexibility, visibility, or control.
Wave goodbye to complex sharding logic, DevOps strain, and vendor constraints. ScaleGrid for PostgreSQL Citus takes the reins—handling the hard parts of distributed PostgreSQL® so your team can focus on building. Whether you’re managing multi-tenant SaaS, time-series data, or geo-sharded apps, our fully managed service lets you scale with confidence, performance, and freedom.
Native PostgreSQL and standard SQL compatibility means no application changes—scale horizontally without rearchitecting.
Run PostgreSQL Citus on AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, or DigitalOcean—either in a dedicated cloud environment managed by ScaleGrid or directly in your own cloud account (BYOC) for cost transparency and full infrastructure ownership.
Configure coordinators, workers, extensions, and topology through ScaleGrid’s intuitive UI while retaining full root and SSH access.
Ideal for time-series, regional, or customer-sharded data—Citus ensures fast writes and parallel query execution at scale.

PostgreSQL Citus is an open-source extension that transforms PostgreSQL into a distributed database by sharding tables across multiple worker nodes. This enables horizontal scaling for both read and write operations without requiring you to change your SQL queries or application logic. It’s ideal for SaaS, time-series, and high-ingest workloads.
ScaleGrid automates the operational complexity of managing distributed PostgreSQL clusters. You can deploy Citus with a few clicks, configure coordinators and workers, and rely on ScaleGrid for provisioning, replication, backups, and scaling—while still retaining full control with root and SSH access.
Yes. ScaleGrid supports Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC), allowing you to deploy PostgreSQL Citus clusters directly into your existing AWS, Azure, or GCP account. This gives you full infrastructure ownership, compliance control, and transparency into your cloud costs.
ScaleGrid provides a rich dashboard with access to OS and database metrics, slow query analysis, and real-time alerts. You can also use standard PostgreSQL and Citus tools for deeper insights, and enable extensions like pg_stat_statements for fine-grained visibility.
You can configure high availability at both the coordinator and worker node levels with automated failover. ScaleGrid also supports regular, automated backups and point-in-time recovery (PITR) to ensure data resilience and business continuity.
Not for reads and writes—Citus maintains compatibility with standard SQL, so your application can interact with the database just like it would with vanilla PostgreSQL. You’ll use Citus-specific SQL to define shard keys and distribution strategies during schema setup.
