Sorry for the late response. Citus certainly does keep getting better. Its parallelization is a little different but given a system designed to use it, I'm sure it'd be just as good as Oracle. Its tenant sharding is a killer feature. My argument never has been that it's purely a feature play; in fact, I think RDS made Oracle far more compelling, because I got to offload the majority of the day-to-day. Now, with citus on azure, yeah, it's pretty compelling on the operating cost side. > If your business is a thin layer around a finely tuned Oracle setup then ofc it becomes pretty stupid to suggest moving off that Right. It's really and end-to-end thing. Oracle serves pretty much every significant business problem. It has a giant API and huge function library that I can use to implement pretty much whatever I want. Then, I can turn it over to the auditors, who know it and understand its operations, so compliance is relatively easy when it comes to things like HIPAA/PCI/FERC or whatever. It's not just about tech. It make a lot of sense for a lot of businesses. Now that I'm not as heavy in regulatory environments and more in science, I think I'd be very happy with the offering. (In fact, I am actively using postrges, and not actively using oracle right now.) I might miss some of the in-built reporting functionality that Oracle has, but I'd have to have a look at the very latest offerings in that area from citus.
