 You can use these Citus superpowers to make your Postgres database scale-out ready on a single Citus node. Or you can build a large cluster capable of handling **high transaction throughputs**, especially in **multi-tenant apps**, run **fast analytical queries**, and process large amounts of **time series** or **IoT data** for **real-time analytics**. When your data size and volume grow, you can easily add more worker nodes to the cluster and rebalance the shards.

 Since Citus is an extension to Postgres, you can use Citus with the latest Postgres versions. And Citus works seamlessly with the PostgreSQL tools and extensions you are already familiar with.
