Nice, Waka looks cool! I've talked a bit about the tradeoffs with library-mode pollers, for example here: >>39644327 . Which isn't to say they don't make sense, but scaling wise I think there can be some drawbacks.

We'd like to make money off of our cloud version. See the comment on pricing here - >>39653084 - which also links to other comments about pricing, sorry about that.

Thanks. There's definitely a need for this, hence why I built WakaQ. Most distributed task queues have bugs or lack features and are overly complex. Would have been nice to find one I could have used instead of building my own. To be transparent, had Hatchet been around I probably would have self-hosted unless your cloud pricing gave similar throughput for the price I get on DigitalOcean. I'm unique, as a bootstrapped solo company. Maybe Hatchet can be the right solution for others. Keep the momentum going!
