To be honest we've not looked into Citus in any depth. My early impression of it (can't speak for the rest of the team) was that it was mostly aimed at sharding analytics workloads, but parts of the docs (e.g. https://docs.citusdata.com/en/v7.1/admin_guide/cluster_manag...) make it sound like it handles OLTP workloads too. Maybe I've been ignoring it for bad reasons! EDIT: Managing Postgres clusters is something that a lot of people are working on. Thought I'd mention two projects that have me excited right now: - Patroni https://github.com/zalando/patroni - Stolon https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon Stolon's client proxy approach in particular looks interesting, and reminds me of how people are using Envoy (https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy), albeit as a TCP proxy rather than one that understands and can do fun stuff with the data

base's protocol. I wonder if we'll start to see more Envoy filters for different databases!

Lyft has a tech similar to linkerd called Envoy: https://github.com/lyft/envoy. It is a bit lower level than linkerd (based on APIs rather than already integrated with common services) and written in C++. I'm working on an adapter which should offer a better integration with Kubernetes. The end goal is to have envoy be able to replace our Ingress controllers. Not having to run the JVM on every machine is also nice.
