Choose Postgres Queue Technology
For running queues on Postgres with Node.js backend(s), I highly recommend https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss. I'm sure it has it scale limits. But if you're one of the 90% of the apps that never needs any kind of scale that a modern server can't easily handle then it's fantastic. You get transactional queueing of jobs, and it automatically handles syncing across multiple job processing servers using Postgres locks.

Which tool/library well adopted to use Postgres as a message broker?
I saw this https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss but it's more for jobs than for message with multiple consumers (having their own progress offset).

Cluster friendly task scheduler for NodeJS
Check out these; - https://github.com/mitranim/posterus - https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss - https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/firebase-queue - https://www.npmjs.com/package/rabbit-queue

You don't need distributed systems.
You can use the simplest option than implement a new service. Keep in mind that every running system can be a job scheduler, you can just use nodejs worker threads, Redis, or even your DB as a job scheduler, check PGBoss for example.

Launch HN: Convoy (YC W22) – Open-source cloud-native webhooks service
Both! For context, we're currently using https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss as a task queue on top of postgres and it works great. No need to complicate things with Redis. I believe it's quite straightforward to implement a task queue on top of postgres using the SKIP LOCKED functionality.

Postgres as Queue
Big fan of Graphile Worker to handle this job. https://github.com/graphile/worker
- GitHub - graphile/worker: High performance Node.js/PostgreSQL job queue (also suitable for getting jobs generated by PostgreSQL triggers/functions out into a different work queue)

I do enjoy using https://github.com/graphile/worker for my postgresql queuing needs. Very scalable, the next release 0.14 even more so, and easy to use.

Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 2): Plugins and Presets
Having now built V5's unified plugins and presets system, I'm extremely pleased with it! I'm so happy, in fact, that I'm looking forward to integrating it with Graphile's other tools such as Graphile Worker (our Postgres-backed job queue) and Graphile Migrate (a lightweight SQL-based migration framework that focuses on DX) once V5 is out and stable.

SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
Another good library for this is Graphile Worker:
https://github.com/graphile/worker
Uses both listen notify and advisory locks so it is using all the right features. And you can enqueue a job from sql and plpgsql triggers. Nice!
Worker is in Node js.
