considering how simple sqs is, i’m confused how building your own queue system on postgres is keeping it simple.

if you’re not using aws, then i understand avoiding setting up an account and some IAM bits, i guess.

If you use some other system, you still end up needing to track all of tasks and their progression in the database then identify all the ways they may have gone off track and update their state..

yeah, you’re right

If you already have Postgres as a dependency, then adding a second is almost always more complicated than just using your existing one.
