Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale (Citus)?
It is a fully managed PostgreSQL service on Azure that allows you to scale out your database horizontally. It uses the Citus extension to distribute your data across multiple PostgreSQL nodes, enabling you to handle much larger datasets and higher transaction rates than a single node.
What is the role of the Coordinator Node?
The coordinator node is the entry point for your application's queries. It receives incoming queries, distributes them to the appropriate worker nodes for processing, and then aggregates the results before returning them to the application. It manages the cluster's metadata and distributed query planning.
What does this license cover?
