i'm not a database person, but does postgres not scale horizontally?

• kasey_junk 6y ago
  No. Read replication approaches linear horizontal scaling (though global latencies can lead to weird edge cases). Write replication requires external products.

    Specifically, Postgres extensions that add write sharding are generally either (a) non-FOSS commercial products or (b) not very well maintained.
