I don't think it's fair to compare Citus DB to MySQL either. I never did. I just stated my experience and you READ that as a comparison. Due to me mentioning MPP, I then lead with PSS. See how that works? I mention MPP and PSS to inform people who are on MySQL and looking to change. I don't think MySQL will come with native MPP or PSS because of licensing issues (I may be wrong). There is shard query with MySQL which is a percona effort. But there are too many moving parts for a production env. Finally, I'm not too bothered about other offerings in the MPP space. I'm already paying a license fee and reaping the rewards. It's good enough for me and was able to hit the ground running very very quickly.

> I switched from MySQL to Postgres. Specifically, we are using CitusDB. The performance we are getting is nothing but staggering, due to MPP. You are talking about switching between them and even concluded, "I don't know of any valid reasons why anyone would switch back." It might not be what you meant, but to me, it also reads as if you're comparing MySQL to CitusDB.
