Show HN: Queue/Cron as a service built on Postgres

1 pointsby szastamasta9 months ago
I&#x27;ve built a small queue&#x2F;cron service that you can use in your backend or serverless code to handle async (do it later) or scheduled jobs.<p>So many times I&#x27;ve had to hack a simple queue&#x2F;scheduling solution based on MongoDB, Postgres, Redis or whatever data storage we had on the project. It was always not enough volume to justify deploying a dedicated solution, but tasks were important enough that we needed a persistent storage. You know, stuff like send out reminder emails, monthly invoices, cleanup old data, etc.<p>So I&#x27;ve built a small multi-tenant queueing service based on PostgreSQL, so I don&#x27;t have to do it again.<p>My priority was that it is:<p>-&gt; super simple to use (simple SDKs &amp; REST api)<p>-&gt; cheap and &quot;pay as you go&quot;<p>-&gt; has &quot;unlimited&quot; plan, so you know your max price<p>-&gt; has a nice UI to check what&#x27;s going on with your jobs<p>Queueing engine is open source and you can check it out here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marekpiechut&#x2F;pgqueue">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marekpiechut&#x2F;pgqueue</a><p>It&#x27;s currently in open beta and there&#x27;s an SDK ready for JS&#x2F;Express&#x2F;Next.js with plan to add Golang and Java soon. You can register and test it out here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lambdaqueue.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lambdaqueue.com</a><p>It would be great to get some feedback (good or bad) from HN community.
