Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale (Citus)?
It is a distributed database service built on PostgreSQL that allows you to scale your database horizontally by adding worker nodes. This enables it to handle much larger datasets and higher query loads than traditional single-node databases.
What does a 'worker node' do in this context?
Worker nodes are the compute units that store portions of your data and execute query fragments. Adding more worker nodes increases the overall compute capacity and storage for your distributed database.
Who is the ideal customer for this service?
This service is ideal for mid-market companies and enterprises that require high-performance analytical capabilities, need to process large datasets, or run complex reports on their own operational data.
