Well done Citus, comendable and inspiring.
I’m betting most of my wealth and my new company on Postgres, if it succeeds, I hope to emulate you.
Postgres is an incredible data platform, that just gets better and better every year with more functionality AND better performance (unlike most software where more features = slower) AND consistent rock solid reliability AND the best documentation of any product I have seen.

I love Postgres! I've barely scratched the surface compared to you and I found Postgres a pleasure to use when building a solution around it recently, so I'd say even at the basic use/novice end of things it's superior to say SQL Server or (gulp) Oracle, which are the other databases I've had experience of.
I use Python to orchestrate and read SQL scripts from disk which I then write my dynamic variables into, and then pump that into Postgres with psycopg2, and the whole thing's been running perfectly for a couple of years now. Probably a hacky way to do things but it's all offline so I have the luxury of not worrying about security.
