some notes about pgmq, https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq, that is on this list. It is built as an extension in Postgres, which makes it compatible with all languages that have a Postgres driver.

There's no 'magic' to it, it uses existing Postgres features so all the performance and consistency guarantees of Postgres are to be expected. Easily gets to 10k+ concurrent reads and writes even on smaller sized Postgres instances, which is more than most applications need.
