I wonder if/when Citus will have a GCP option?

I wonder if/when they'll reoease multi-master ?

  When you say multi-master can you clarify a bit of what you're looking for? We have Citus MX which allows you to read and write from any node removing a coordinator as a bottleneck on any write throughput. Not sure if it would meet your needs or if you're looking to solve some other use case.

    Yes, I meant mx.

They seem to currently be to deep invested in the AWS architecture. But i am still waiting for Citus Cloud on GCP too.

Hi, Craig from Citus here. We're always continuing to explore other platforms beyond Citus Cloud on AWS. Stay tuned for the future as we'll add support for others. The input and feedback on which platforms people prefer is very helpful, so always feel free to drop us a note directly on that.

  GCP and Digital Ocean would be excellent. :)

  I also would be interested in GCP and digital ocean

  +100 for GCP

    Why? Yes, AWS can be expensive for performance, but it scales well and is automatable. I 'get' why no Azure for greenfield, but why do you love GCP?

      when the rest of your infrastructure is already on GCP, running the database on the same cloud would reduce latency and bandwidth cost

        Well, sure. I guess the broader question would be: Why use GCP? I like them well enough, but I find it easier to prototype on AWS. Why would a developer develop the MVP on GCP vs AWS and then go to scale there? (I realized that K8S has made this, recently, a moot point, and it comes down to cost ... but beside that is there anything?) EDIT: I realize that as a neo-Luddite, I just might be used to AWS, and would be open (mostly) to arguments to move to GCP if it is better (I'm not not talking about $/Gbps) EDIT2: As a (mostly) fan of Google - I probably would have gotten myself acclimatized to their platform if it was any good 10 years ago, but it wasn't, so I didn't, and I guess I'm asking: is there a good reason to learn how to switch?

        That's a broad question for a side topic... GCP has better performance (especially raw storage, compute and network), cheaper and simpler pricing, and more consistent experience. The raw primitives to build with are better designed and integrated, and scale without any tuning. We're not building MVPs (which are just as easy) but have a working product and only use GKE and VMs. If you need all the managed services then AWS is the right choice, but K8S has made that a non-issue for us and allows us to use VMs (which are the most reliable part of any cloud), along with spot/preemptible pricing and better colocation for efficiency.
