In the end, engineering is just whether the thing works with minimal maintenance. And ultimately, I've had great experiences using DBaaQ for low volume data movement. It works as a persistent queue with easy to do retries etc.

For high throughput (we had ad tech servers with 1E7 hits/s) we used a home-built low-latency queue that supported real time and persisted data. But for low throughput stuff, the DBaaQ worked fine.

And ultimately, maybe it was a lack of imagination on our part since Segment was successful with a mid-throughput DBaaQ https://segment.com/blog/introducing-centrifuge/
