We're always continuing to evaluate other cloud providers to run our fully managed database as a service on (so stay tuned...) That said, because Citus the extension is open source as well as licensed for the enterprise version you can take it and run it yourself today on GCP or Azure or any other cloud of your choosing. And in fact we do have a number of customers running and managing Citus themselves on top of GCP.

Thanks. I know it's open source, but Citus Cloud isn't, so presumably you don't get the extra functionality -- backups, replicas ("followers"), snapshots etc.

We are going to use CloudSQL once it exits beta, but it's a fairly conservative Postgres implementation (single node with read slaves), and you can't install third-party extensions (Citus is not available).

Yeah, fully understand. With any luck we have a better option for you soon :)

Yes, GCP would be extremely desirable.
