Fwiw I don't know the shape of the data, but I feel like you could do this with Firebase for a few bucks a month...

you 100% could, and this thread feels like the twilight zone with how many people are advocating for using a rdbms for (what seems like) most peoples queuing needs.

    Dude you are seriously underestimating postgres' versatility. It does so many different things, and well!

      I'm not underestimating anything. I am advocating for the right tool for the job. I have a hard time believing, despite the skewed sample size in this thread, that most people think using postgres as a message queue for most cases makes the most sense.

    Does Firebase offer self-hosting these days?

    What do you say to those who don't want Google to know their usage info?
