Pgque Postgres Queue

If you need a Postgres-based queue that won't bloat your database with dead tuples, this is the move. It's a pure PL/pgSQL implementation of Skype's battle-tested PgQ architecture, using snapshot-based batching and table rotation instead of row-level locks. That means you can run high-throughput queues on managed Postgres (RDS, Supabase, Neon) without vacuum becoming a nightmare. The tradeoff is latency: delivery takes about one to two seconds because nothing ships until a tick fires. Native fan-out is built in, so multiple consumers each get their own copy of every event. If you need sub-second messaging, look elsewhere. If you need reliable queuing that won't degrade your database over weeks of sustained load, this nails it.
