I actually used redis pub/sub before switching to triggers - it is significantly easier to just:

  INSERT INTO JOBS
versus

  INSERT INTO JOBS
  redis-cli LPUSH job-queue job-id
It's also easier to configure, redis has BRPOPLPUSH for acked-queues, but it's much easier to just query jobs with a select statement from the database.
