I think this is great. We should see more simple solution to this problem.

I recently started doing something very similar on Postgres [1] and I'm greatly enjoying using it. I think the total solution I ended up with is under 3000 lines of code for both the SQL and the TypeScript SDK combined, and it's much easier to use and to operate than many of the solutions on the market today.

Ah, that's awesome. Definitely need to take a closer look at your implementation.

This looks useful.

Hope would you say it compares with pgqueuer?

		I think pgqueuer is like pgmq which I used a lot. pgmq is just the queue part, absurd does the state storage. I wrote some more about why it exists here: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/11/3/absurd-workflows/
