Thanks for the candid feedback.

What we've seen is that it's not an apples to apples comparison of single node Postgres to a Citus cluster. Often times customers that migrate over can use less resources because of the sharding and parallelism under the covers than they do on a single node Postgres and get better performance.

Our plans do absolutely start at a higher level than say a really small RDS, but if you have a very small amount of data then that's absolutely the right place to start there is no need to invest in sharding your data at that time. Later when you start to get to larger instances is very much our sweet spot and we have some tools that make migration a smoother process without requiring dump/restore to address the questions that come up there.
