This is a great writeup, thanks. It will be very useful if y'all could add a post comparing neon with citusdb in terms of functionality, performance and operations.

Let us work on it! Short answer is Neon is most similar to AWS Aurora - 100% compatibility with Postgres and all the innovation is on storage and serverless. The use case is core database for apps.

And Citus is shared nothing architecture plus columnstores. This means the use case is analytics or mixed workloads. Citus people should comment on this of course.

Agreed. This would make a wonderful follow up post!
