From everything I've seen on it, Citus makes horizontally scaling a multi-tenant database a transparent operation. This is ideal just because so many applications emphasize recency in the data that you don't want rarely accessed, 3 year old information cluttering up your indexes that are looking up things from this month 99% of the time.

Timescale seems to me more about the analytics side of things, focusing on ingestion speed and aggregation. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.
