If you don't care about inter node transactions you can use citus for postgresql scaling.

Yes, Citus is good stuff. We use MemSQL though as it's a better fit for our (data warehouse) needs. There's also TimescaleDB, PipelineDB, CockroachDB, and more, lots of interesting options today for distributed "newsql" databases.
