Does Oracle support anything like this? Or any other DBMS in widespread use, for that matter?
The promise behind this approach to DB sharding has great potential. Simultaneously impressive, novel, and badass.
I wish this had been available ten years ago at a few of my startups!
- brightball 3y agoI watched a Citus demo a few months back and it blew me away. I hear upgrades are the big challenge.
- krab 3y agoNot really. It's comparable to a regular Postgres upgrade. But you can screw it up - see https://github.com/citusdata/citus/discussions/6934 https://github.com/citusdata/citus/discussions/6934
- isoos 3y agoDepends on the definition of widespread use, but e.g. CockroachDB and YugabyteDB offer scaling of a subset of Postgresql features (and extending on the cluster capabilities). Nevertheless, Citus is now a promising open source alternative.
- sokols 3y agoThere is Oracle RAC Sharding, but AFAIK it works only at a partition level.
- ksec 3y agoSomething like Vitess / PlanetScale?
