citus isn't simply postgresql. It has many tradeoffs
2 comments

What do you mean? It's just an extension to PostgreSQL and runs anywhere that allows you to load it.
We get that, but I left off (for brevity) the reasons why Citus would be a net positive for our use case.
I would appreciate if you could list some of those differences and tradeoffs, for some of us who are interested in Citus but haven't yet had time to look at it in more detail. Thanks!
