Is it cheap if you already using Postgres though?
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoI commented elsewhere, but in most cases I think it would be a bad idea to host your queue tables and logic in the same instance that hosts your primary data. This if you spin up another PG instance in the cloud, it could very well end up costing you more than a default cloud-hosted queue service.
- klysm 3y agoI don’t think that’s best for small things. Unless you can’t vertically scale your instance to handle to load, being able to join and keep transactions within one data store is massively valuable. I wouldn’t want to open myself to distributed systems problems unless I’m absolutely forced to.
