What's frustrating about this conversation is that I'm literally, right now, supporting two different queueing systems based on PG and Redis, so I get on a very real level, the tradeoffs. I know in great detail the problems that come up, but HN is not conducive to talking at that level of detail. At this point every comment I make is flagged and downvoted, so why would I pay time into a system that has clearly decided my opinion isn't relevant?
