We’re not currently providing we hooks, but I can see a using something like this if we need to at some point.

I’d definitely appreciate a Postgres options for the queue backend. We currently have an “everything in Postgres” approach for operational simplicity. It works great, and it would fantastic if we could slot this in there too.

Hmm. To clarify, do you mean Postgres as a queueing backend or storage backend?

We have it planned for a storage backend but not for queueing at the moment.

Both! For context, we're currently using https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss as a task queue on top of postgres and it works great. No need to complicate things with Redis. I believe it's quite straightforward to implement a task queue on top of postgres using the SKIP LOCKED functionality.
