I did a few talks on this at Sydpy as I used it at work quite a bit. It's handy when you already have postgresql running well and supported.
This said, I'd use a dedicated queue these days. Anything but RabbitMQ.
Would you mind elaborating on this? I'd be happy for others to chime in with their experiences/opinions, too.
