I’ve used lulu.com for this in the past for small one-off print jobs (I think it was 5$ for something around 80 pages)

Agreed, when you start to need these kind of optimizations, go might not be the best choice

I think you could do the pointerless version (the one using an int32 index) of this in go via unsafe casting.
I’ll try it out later

It is probably closer to something like avro, but with more features and less java focus.

Kafka works best when the data it is returning to consumers is in the page cache.
When consumers fall behind, they start to request data that might not be in the page cache, causing things to slow down.

Time to install is much faster, bundle install is just so damn slow.
And now that I'm not a ruby dev any more, I don't install a modern ruby on my computer.
Re:Transactionally Staged Job Drains in Postgres

I do the same thing. Small projects start with the job queue in postgres.
As things eventually scale up, I move the queue to its own dedicated postgres node.
Once that starts to be too slow, I finally move to redis/kafka. 99% of things never make it to this stage.

2. [Daniel Lemire](http://lemire.me/en/) - comp sci professor who frequently blogs about interesting db/indexing topics
