    Save yourself the headache of people not reading this and just disable pull requests in the repo settings

    This is really cool! I built something very similar only I replicated the AWS sqs protocol instead.

    This is nice. For those wanting to stay on Postgres for DAG type of workflows, check out pgmq based PgFlow: https://github.com/agoodway/pgflow

    Congrats on the launch. Using the Redis protocol was a pretty clever choice. Does it have to run as a stand-alone server?

    Oban is really awesome, are you inspired by it?

    Title said “no overengineering” so I doubt it.

    Satisfied former Oban user here. Oban is engineered. Your use-case may be petty, though, like your comment.

    I would argue that Oban isn't overengineered.

    If so should we also consider PostgreSQL overengineered?

    It's a shame OP decided to use Elixir as base, many ecosystems don't have mature task queues (e.g. for Rust I had to roll my own: simple_queue) so the space IMO would be more welcoming.

    On OTP doubt anything can even make a dent in Oban user base.
