Instead of SQS, I recently created a basic abstraction on PG that mimics the SQS apis. The intention was to use it during development and we would simply switch to SQS later.

Never did. The production code still uses PG based queue (which has been improved since) and pg just works perfectly fine. Might still need to go with a dedicated queue service at some point but it has been perfectly fine so far.
