Something I think needs to be stated: Kafka is not a message queue. If you need things like work stealing, you're going to have a bad time. It doesn't seem to apply in this case, but the terminology misuse is going to lead some poor developer astray.

It seems like they only tried postgres? so they didn't compare it with kafka at all....so yeah, you can make a message queue or log table in a rdbms.
