Installing Citus on CloudSQL

[Hardik Bansal]

Is there a way to install extensions like Citus for Postgres on CloudSql? It is not in list of supported extensions by google cloudsql. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/extensions

Hello Hardik,

The list of extensions found at the link you have shared seems up to date, and can confirm the Citus is an unsupported extension on Cloud SQL. One alternative would be to manage your own PostgreSQL server on a Compute Engine instance (VM). You could therefore add any PostgreSQL extension of your liking, but obviously requires a different level of involvement than Cloud SQL demands. You can read about how to set up PostgreSQL on Compute Engine here [1].
