Why use SPQR over Citus? Vitess?

Vitess is a MySQL cluster manager, it doesn’t support Postgres. https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7084

Does it handle byzantine failures?

No, only Roman failures

Like the one where they failed to conquer that village of Gauls?

sono pazzi questi romani

"On the first page where we find the map of France we see a Roman banner with S.P.Q.R. which means "Senatus Populus Que Romanus" (The senate and people of Rome). The Italian translator made a great pun about it and translated it into "Sono Pazzi questi Romani". The latter can be translated to "These Romans are crazy"."

As usual, Asterixes are to be avoided.

SPQR, as the name suggests, is just a query router.

Yes, that's what the name suggests

The name also suggests plans to go to war with the Carthaginians.
