Message DB: Event Store and Message Store for PostgreSQL

Is this using NOTIFY/LISTEN to stream messages or some other way to get new messages as they arrive?

Good question. Consumers poll for updates. One of the stored functions in Message DB is designed for this very query.

Polling sounds very crude, but for the systems Message DB is designed for, it's a virtue. No back pressure problems, for example.
