We[0] just recently moved from Hbase to Postgres w/ Citus. Still not fully settled in, but got incredible support from the Citus team (seriously amazing guys) and things are looking much brighter than before.

On a 8 worker nodes (16 cores, 80GB ram, 3TB SSD), we're at around 20k inserts/second, while most of the selects are running at around 100ms (besides some counts and complex queries).

If you have a lot of data and know Postgres, give it a chance.

Is that 20K separate transactions or are some of the 20K inserts grouped together?

Separate (going through the master).
This is a super cool product. Good job.
Interesting product - good luck :)
