Really cool. I'm working on .Net project that I've also adopted a "single dependency" stance on; that being Postgres. I'm pretty thrilled to see I'm not the only one lol!

I plan to use Orleans to handle a lot of the heavy HA/scale lifting. It can likely stand in for Redis in a lot of cache use cases(in some non-obvious ways), and am anticipating writing a Postgres stream provider for it when the time comes.. Will likely end up writing a Postres job queue as well so will definitely check out River for inspiration.

A lot of postgres drivers, including the .Net defacto Npgsql, support logical decode these days which unlocks a ton of exciting use cases and patterns via log processing.
