Postgres has its advantages, but for message queues I’d stick with SQS. I built out a trading firm last year that was basically Postgres, some dotnet services and SQS queues and we got acquired for $140M. You can build some fairly formidable systems if you keep them simple.

Sounds interesting. Can you elaborate? You got acquired one year into doing business for 100M+? Impressive
