NikolayS/PgQue — PgQue – Zero-bloat Postgres queue built on top of on ba

PgQue – PgQ, universal edition

Zero-bloat Postgres queue. One SQL file to install, pg_cron or pg_timetable to tick.

Death spiral of a SKIP LOCKED queue under sustained load — the failure mode PgQue avoids by construction

For teams who want a durable event stream inside Postgres. The model is closer to Kafka (log) than to ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ (task message queue). Shared event log, independent per-consumer cursors, zero bloat under sustained load. Pure SQL and PL/pgSQL, any Postgres 14+ — managed or self-hosted, no sidecar daemon. The rest of this README walks the history, comparison, and install paths that back up the claim.
