Queue system? Care to elaborate.
Queuing works most of the time, does it not?
You are hand-waving many properties of purpose-built queue systems.
I'm curious if you are comparing this to a non-queue solution or to a different queue system?
You're going to need queues is you want to make it scale.
What are its advantages compared to a more dedicated job queue system?
Can you give more context about your projects i.e. what makes them require a super high-performance queue?
Where do you queue: in memory? on disk? in a dedicated queue server (Redis, Kafka, ActiveMQ, etc.)? in another SQLite database?
Not sure the op's case, but typically it's better for queue processing.
Why build a queue before you really need it when you can just use postgres?
