We considered traditional options like RabbitMQ and Kafka but wanted to avoid the operational overhead for our self-hosted customers. That's when we turned to PostgreSQL.

Using PostgreSQL's FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, we built a task queue that supports retries, parallelism, and large payloads, all without adding new infrastructure. Sometimes, PostgreSQL really is all you need!

It's been running in production at Gentrace, handling 8-10k tasks daily with peaks of 45k during large-scale evaluations. The architecture is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain.

We decided to open-source a version of this implementation as Simple Task Queue. It includes:

- A task queue built on PostgreSQL - Type-safe task definitions and scheduling in TypeScript - Support for retries, parallel processing, and scheduled tasks
