This is great! We've been using PostgREST along with a PostgreSQL-based queue to handle side-effects like sending webhooks after database operations (inserts/updates/deletes). The queue feeds into a node server that processes these tasks. However, this setup is becoming a performance bottleneck as we scale.
I'm exploring an alternative way to run logic asynchronously after db operations without the overhead, and I think using cdc to export jobs into an external queue is the way to go here. Essentially a lightweight alternative to Debezium with a better developer experience that is easier to manage. This crate could serve as the core of such a service.
