Thousands a day? Really? Even if it were hundreds of thousands a day it would make more sense to use a managed Pub Sub service and save yourself the hassle (assuming modest throughput).
- dymk 4y agoYeah, I'd do the opposite of what they ended up doing. Start with Postgres, which will handle their thousands-per-day no sweat. If they scaled to > 100 millions/day, then start investigating a dedicated message bus / queue system if an optimized PG solution starts to hit its limits.
- dpflan 4y agoYeah, it seems like a more natural evolution into specialization and scale rather than a step "backwards" to PG which I suspect will be the subject of a future blogpost about replacing their pq queue with another solution...
