That's kinda vague philosophizing about an actual project. It seems pretentious and not constructive.

Do you have a concrete criticism of Citus? Do you believe a database system can become your definition of "God", or are large database systems simply not necessary and could be replaced by a few tiny God-like pieces? If so, why do large database systems exist at all?

I have no criticism of Citus at all. Seems like a great project.

I don't think systems of large scope can necessarily be replaced by small scope ones. Just that the large project is probably suffering if smaller, more stable parts aren't sloughing off of it as part of your device process.
