Skype used postgres as queue with a small plugin to process all their CDR many years ago. I have no idea if it used these days but it was 'web scale', 10 years ago. Just working, while people on the internet argued about using a database as a queue is an anti-pattern.

Having transactions is quite handy.

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.

Bad experiences? If so, was it the tech itself or surrounding stuff? (aka maybe docs, maybe community, etc)
