Cool, thanks for the answers, and great work. I understand there's a trade off between distribution and strictness, seems like Dynamiq actively chooses distribution, which is actually a very cool choice to see a queue move into (most or all queues I know of tend to favor consistency).

To answer your questions on beanstalkd, the answer to scaling past a single node is sharding, much like a traditional SQL database (although no replication exists). There really is no HA option. Redis is similar, although it does support replication, so you do have more failover options.
