pg_tier

pgmq.archive() gives us an API to retain messages on your queue, its an alternative to pgmq.delete(). For me as a long-time Redis user, message retention was always important and was always extra work to implement. DLQ isn't a built-in feature to PGMQ yet. We run PGMQ our SaaS at Tembo.io, and the way we implement the DLQ is by checking the message's read_ct value. When it exceeds some value, we send the message to another queue rather than processing it. Successfully processed messages end up getting pgmq.archive()'d. Soon, we will be integrating https://github.com/tembo-io/pg_tier into pgmq so that the archive table is put directly into cloud storage/S3.
