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)

Choose Postgres Queue Technology
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.

PGMQ: Simple Message Queues Built on Postgres
On the same subject (job queue based on PostgreSQL), I'm successfully using the https://github.com/graphile/worker/ (NodeJS) project in production.
Jobs are written in Javascript.

How Trigger.dev makes serverless background jobs possible
Postgres is used both as a store of state for Runs/Tasks and for the Job queue (we use Graphile Worker).

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.
- whats the difference bewteen SQL Qeues and server queues ?

Tuning Rails application structure
Once we are done with default gems, should we look into something we usually use? That's jwt because we need session tokens for our API. Next comes our one and only sidekiq. For a long period of time it was the best in town solution for background jobs. Now we could also consider solid_queue or good_job. In development and testing groups we need rspec-rails, factory_bot_rails and ffaker. Dealing with money? Start doing it properly from the beginning! Do not forget to install money-rails. Once everything is added to the Gemfile do not forget to trigger bundle install.

Postgres as Queue
In the world of Ruby, GoodJob [0] has been doing a _good job_ so far.

Choose Postgres Queue Technology
For Rails apps, you can do this using the ActiveJob interface via
https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job
Had it in production for about a quarter and itโs worked well.

Pg_later: Asynchronous Queries for Postgres
Idk about pgagent but any table is a resilient queue with the multiple locks available in pg along with some SELECT pg_advisory_lock or SELECT FOR UPDATE queries, and/or LISTEN/NOTIFY.
Several bg job libs are built around native locking functionality
> Relies upon Postgres integrity, session-level Advisory Locks to provide run-once safety and stay within the limits of schema.rb, and LISTEN/NOTIFY to reduce queuing latency.

Noticed Gem and ActionCable
The suggestion from /u/tofus is a good one. If you are already using redis as your ActionCable adapter I would use sidekiq. If not and you're using postgres I would consider https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job
-
Introducing tobox: a transactional outbox framework
Probably worth mentioning that aside from delayed_job there are at least two more modern alternatives backed by the DB: Que and good_job.

Sidekiq jobs in ActiveRecord transactions
Good article. Sidekiq is a good, well respected too. However if you are starting out I would recommend not using it, and instead choosing a DB based queue system. We have great success with que, but there are others like good_job.
-
Mike Perham of Sidekiq: โIf you build something valuable, charge money for it.โ
Sidekiq Pro is great, we're paying for it! 10k a year I think.
But for people who are interested in alternatives, I'd also suggest Good Job (runs on Postgresql).

SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
I'm the GoodJob author. Here's the class that is responsible for implementing Postgres's LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality in GoodJob:
https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job/blob/10e9d9b714a668dc...
That's heavily inspired by Rail's Action Cable (websockets) Adapter for Postgres, which is a bit simpler and easier to understand:
https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/be287ac0d5000e667510faba...
Briefly, it spins up a background thread with a dedicated database connection and doings a blocking Postgres LISTEN query returns results, and then it forwards the result to other subscribing objects.
-
Watching for changes to DB by another app
In this case I would try to set up tcn (a Postgres extension) and a trigger that inserts a job in a goodjob jobs table. https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job is like sidekiq but uses Postgres as a queue.
What are some alternatives?
pg-boss - Queueing jobs in Node.js using PostgreSQL like a boss
Sidekiq - Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby
dramatiq - A fast and reliable background task processing library for Python 3.
sidekiq-throttled - Concurrency and rate-limit throttling for Sidekiq
start - Kyoto starter project
Que - A Ruby job queue that uses PostgreSQL's advisory locks for speed and reliability.
r2dbc-postgresql - Postgresql R2DBC Driver
Delayed::Job - Database based asynchronous priority queue system -- Extracted from Shopify
Redis - Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
Resque - Resque is a Redis-backed Ruby library for creating background jobs, placing them on multiple queues, and processing them later.
BeanstalkD - Beanstalk is a simple, fast work queue.
Sidekiq::Undertaker - Sidekiq::Undertaker allows exploring, reviving or burying dead jobs.
