I really wish SQS had reliably lower latency, like Redis, and also supported priority levels. (Also like redis, now, with sorted sets and the https://redis.io/commands/bzpopmax command.)

Has anyone measured the performance of Redis on large sorted sets, say millions of items? Hoping that it's still in single digit milliseconds at that size... And can sustain say 1000QPS...

We use Redis as a job queue and its great; the only limitation is being sometimes concerned about job queue size due to memory limits of the Redis server itself.

Always hear using redis etc for job queues, what do these "job queues" entail? I've been an amateur and have used postgres tables as queues .. am I not being efficient?

Tables as queues is perfectly legit, one less component to worry about.
