pgmq
A lightweight message queue built on PostgreSQL, offering SQS-like functionality with transactional guarantees.
What is pgmq?
pgmq is a lightweight message queue that runs directly on PostgreSQL, providing reliable message queuing with transactional semantics. It offers an alternative to cloud-based queues like AWS SQS by leveraging PostgreSQL's durability and consistency guarantees.
Developers and teams already using PostgreSQL who need a simple, reliable message queue without adding separate infrastructure, such as those building applications requiring asynchronous task processing or event-driven architectures within a PostgreSQL environment.
Developers choose pgmq because it eliminates the need for separate messaging infrastructure by leveraging PostgreSQL's built-in reliability, replication, and transactional guarantees, offering a familiar SQS-like API with minimal dependencies.
