pgsql-listen-exchange

I haven't personally used either of these, but they look interesting and I'm hoping to test them out at some point: https://github.com/gmr/pgsql-listen-exchange https://github.com/subzerocloud/pg-amqp-bridge In theory, these let you use postgres NOTIFY to add messages to queues (which can be done from inside triggers).

Good read and yes, postgres is king, no argument there but i do think the comparison is a bit unfair to RethinkDB. Work on Postgres started in 1986, you can't compare performance of tools when one of them had 30 years to work on performance and the other is like 5y old which had the benefit of only a handful of brains working on it. I would say it's remarkabl what RethinkDB did in this timeframe. In relation to Postgres and real time messages, another approach is to use a real messaging server instead of using only the simple listen/notify interface pg provides. It's possible to connect them using this https://github.com/gmr/pgsql-listen-exchange I am just wrapping up the integration here (http://graphqlapi.com) and so far it looks good. Postgres provides the power and features we all know and rabbitmq gives you all the realtime capabilit
