Postgres Task Queues: The Secret Weapon Killing Specialized Queue Services?

I use Postgres as a queue for some bits at work using Graphile-worker [0] and it works perfectly. No need for another moving part when the data I need is in the db. Also avoids having to do outbox stuff.

It’s quite cool just how far you can get with postgres

Yep, graphile-worker seems to be so generally good that you can implement very robust pipelines with it also.

I think graphile-worker as temporal.io 's little sibling.
