Strong disagree on using a database as a message queue. This article[0] covers many of the reasons why. Summary: additional application complexity and doesn't scale well with workers.

Basically every piece of this article's criticism is wrong as applied to the source / link above.

- No need to poll the database table

- No table-level locks and manual handling: row locks used for handling the work in progress

- "Manual cleanup" -- uhhh

Etc.
