Not sure why this is making people upset.

  Because it's incorrect. If you have any non-postgres side-effect, you can't have exactly-once (unless you do 2PC or something like that). There isn't any technology that gives you "exactly once" in the general case.

    That's not how exactly once is defined for queue. We are talking about semantics of what queue systems is providing.

      Nobody will understand it like that.
      • qaq 3y ago
        Anyone who has ever selected queue service/product will understand it like that. Because thats one of the most prominent features that gets highlighted by those products: SQS Standard queues support at-least-once message delivery. NATS offers "at-most-once" delivery etc.
