Citus custom distribution of shards

[KRISHNA-PRAVESH]

I am new to Citus and using schema-based sharding for my use case. My goal is to:

1. Assign a specific schema to a desired node.

2. Allocate more shards to powerful nodes compared to weaker ones.

I came across custom rebalancing strategies, which allow me to achieve this, but they require manually triggering a rebalance after shard creation.

My question is:
Is there a way to configure Citus to distribute shards based on my custom strategy at the time of schema creation, instead of having to rebalance later? Essentially, I am looking for a way to define a custom distribution strategy upfront.

Any insights or alternative approaches would be appreciated!

Environment Details:

Citus version: 12.1

PostgreSQL version: 16.6

Deployment type: Multi-node

Thanks in advance!

Hi Krishna

I hope you are doing well. I know that you are trying to do Citus, and we at ScaleGrid will be launching CITUS support, would that be something you would be interested in
