Citus was acquired by Microsoft so there are doubts about its future longevity given that so many similar promises of ongoing support are rarely maintained. Timescale is optimised for time-series so not sure it's applicable.

Point still remains that PostgreSQL lacks a modern, built-in horizontal scalability solution.

Cockroachdb is a common solution here.

It's not Postgres, it only speaks Postgres dialect.

but it is not pgsql, and doesn't have drop in compatibility..
