I don't usually downvote posts, but this article is just garbage - a rant about "the cargo cult of scale" but no actual arguments as to why Postgres is better than redis or sqs or anything else. The main reason that people don't use postgres for this kind of thing isn't some kind of misguided obsession with scalability, it's because postgres is way more complicated to deploy / manage and harder to use for application developers than any of the other options.

The argument is stated-- you shouldn't adopt too many technologies. The author merely says that if you're running postgres already, you should seriously consider it for your queue. They also point out that many of the arguments against psql-as-queue are flawed.
