I appreciate the open source foundation! Is the goal of pgEdge functionally aligned or divergent from what CitusDB offers?


Thanks for the feedback! We're pretty excited about it, too :-)

Citus focuses on scaling Postgres via sharding, typically with a single write node and many read replicas. It’s great for high-throughput, analytical workloads. pgEdge, by contrast, is built for geo-distributed, multi-master Postgres — all nodes are writable, with built-in conflict resolution. It prioritizes low latency, availability, and data locality over pure scale-out. So the goals are pretty different.
