I love your vision and am excited to see the execution! I've been looking for exactly this product (postgres-backed task queue with workers in multiple languages and decent built-in observability) for like... 3 years. Every 6 months I'll check in and see if someone has built it yet, evaluate the alternatives, and come away disappointed.

One important feature request that probably would block our adoption: one reason why I prefer a postgres-backed queue over eg. Redis is just to simplify our infra by having fewer servers and technologies in the stack. Adding in RabbitMQ is definitely an extra dependency I'd really like to avoid.

(Currently we've settled on graphile-worker which is fine for what it does, but leaves a lot of boxes unchecked.)

Not sure if you saw it but Graphile Worker supports jobs written in arbitrary languages so long as your OS can execute them: https://worker.graphile.org/docs/tasks#loading-executable-fi...

Would be interested to know what features you feel it’s lacking.
