This one is heavily inspired by Graphile Worker, but with lots of lessons learned.


I needed a job queue that didn't require Redis. This uses Postgres directly — jobs are rows, locking is done via PG functions, and workers can either poll or use NOTIFY/LISTEN for faster pickup. Supports retries, batch ops, parallel workers, and has a typed event system. Small API, nothing fancy.
