> showcasing case studies of real world applications of implementing message brokers over RDBMS

You mean "industrial scale RDBMS" that you can license for thousands of dollars? No, you can't really implement message brokers on those.

You will never see those showcase articles. Nobody paying wants them.

No, industrial scale RDBMSes like PostgreSQL, that you can license for free. Obviously?

Those don't have money to fund studies about industry best practices. So you don't get many.

Almost everything you see on how to use a DBMS is an amateur blog or one of those studies. One of those is usually dismissed on any organization with more than one layer of management.

Your comment reads like a strawman. I didn't needed "studies". It was good enough if there was a guy with a blog saying "I used postgres as a message broker like this and I got these numbers", and they had a gitlab project page providing the public with the setup and benchmark code.
