On SQS - zlacker

>>mpweih+(OP)
I use Postgres SKIP LOCKED as a queue.

I used to use SQS but Postgres gives me everything I want. I can also do priority queueing and sorting.

I gave up on SQS when it couldn't be accessed from a VPC. AWS might have fixed that now.

All the other queueing mechanisms I investigated were dramatically more complex and heavyweight than Postgres SKIP LOCKED.

There are VPC API endpoints for this. As far as I recall it was all the time there from VPC begging, but I might be wrong.

Only since December 2018 and you need to pay extra...
