# The databases/citus port

## citus-12.1.5 – extension to horizontally scale PostgreSQL

## Description

    Citus horizontally scales PostgreSQL across multiple machines using
    sharding and replication. Its query engine parallelizes incoming SQL
    queries across these servers to enable human real-time (less than a
    second) responses on large datasets.

    Citus extends the underlying database rather than forking it, which
    gives developers and enterprises the power and familiarity of a
    traditional relational database. As an extension, Citus supports new
    PostgreSQL releases, allowing users to benefit from new features while
    maintaining compatibility with existing PostgreSQL tools.
