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.)

Funny how this is vision now. I started my career 29 years ago at a company that build exactly this, but based on oracle. The agents would run on Solaris, aix, vax vms, hpux, windows nt, iris, etc. Was also used to create an automated cicd pipeline to build all binaries on all these different systems.
