People underestimate how bad databases are at implementing queuing systems. I’ve helped replace such systems multiple times. But it doesn’t need to require 10x

People underestimate how bad databases are at implementing queuing systems. I’ve helped replace such systems multiple times.
But it doesn’t need to require 10x the time or code. That just sounds like overengineering. Database-as-queue vs. 10x ultimate solution is a false dichotomy.
- dalyons 4y agoYeah they suck at it. There are so many good queuing systems, and if you’re on any cloud there’s gunna be a cheap managed queue that is super reliable and near zero effort. If you get beyond trivial scale just use a managed queue.

- jbverschoor 4y agoPeople overestimate their requirements, because almost nobody had ANY idea what computers are capable of, and that big tech is HUUUUGE compared to the rest. You are not Google and you are not Steve Jobs
