WhatA managed, Postgres-backed distributed task queue with built-in SKIP LOCKED coordination, advisory locks, and multi-node worker management that eliminates the need for Redis or RabbitMQ.
SignalDevelopers are successfully building high-performance distributed queues on Postgres using SKIP LOCKED and advisory locks, but each team is rebuilding the same primitives from scratch because no productized solution exists that handles the subtle race conditions and scaling edge cases.
Why NowPostgres 12+ SKIP LOCKED performance is now production-grade, and the industry trend toward reducing infrastructure dependencies means teams actively want to consolidate onto Postgres rather than adding Redis or SQS.
MarketBackend teams at startups and mid-market companies currently using Redis/BullMQ or SQS for job queues; TAM ~$500M+ in the message queue/task processing space; competes with SQS, BullMQ, and Oban but for the Postgres-consolidated stack.
MoatSwitching costs once queue schemas and worker patterns are embedded in application code, plus Postgres-native integration means the queue shares transactional guarantees with business data.
