You can make anything that stores data into a job queue.

But can you make a decent job queue with anything that stores data? Not easily. E.g. you need atomicity if multiple consumers can take jobs, and I think you need CAS for that, not just any storage will do, right?

You probably need ACI and also D if you want your jobs to persist.
