> We maintain things like queue ordering by adding an ORDER BY clause in the query that consumers use to read from it (groundbreaking, we know). The dude's being a bit too self-deprecating with that (sarcastic quip). But there's valuable something buried there - if it is possible to efficiently solve a problem without introducing novel mechanisms and concepts, it is highly desirable to do so. Don't reinvent the wheel unless you need to. > You could set the prefetch count to 1, which meant every worker will prefetch at most 1 message. Or you could set it to 0, which meant they will each prefetch an infinite number of messages. O what the actual fuck? I'm really hoping he's right about holding it wrong, because otherwise ???
