Any plans to add Queues (like SQS etc.)

[ajonno]

The only thing I see missing from Supabase (which is AWESOME great work) that would at least in our case make it a 1:1 replacement to AWS, is queues. Same as SQS or Azure Service Bus etc.. , with features like FIFO, dead letter etc.

Is this on the radar at all ?

I asked myself the same but at the same time I think it would be easy to I integrate AWS services like SQS using the AWS SDK within your application, e.g. in the server routes of a Nuxt or SvelteKit App.

Do you see a problem in the "coexistence" of Supabase and native AWS services in your project?

[ajonno]

Actually I agree with you. It's easy enough to drop an event into queues at aws or azure or gcp. Also those platforms have masses of options available for post processing.

I'm thinking something based on Postgres would be a good fit for Supabase. Quick search returns some interesting blogs/projects:

• https://www.crunchydata.com/blog/message-queuing-using-native-postgresql
• https://github.com/pgq/pgq
• https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq

These approaches can probably be used even without support from Supabase, if these Postgres extensions can be installed on Supabase. I'll try with pgmq extension and create a Deno client for it, something similar as the existing Python client.

pgq and pgmq are not SQL-only extensions, so Supabase would have to provide them for installation...

18 months have passed since the initial post, yet there's been no contribution to the discussion from anyone at Supabase. I'm curious, how have others tackled the issue of queue management in their projects?

[flogy]

Would love to have some queue functionality within Supabase too. I currently use a separate queue in AWS, which is not great but working.

Strange... Supabase usually reply to the discussions/issues of his community. The silence here seems to be wanted other than accepted

[lukeocodes]

Maybe we're stumbled onto a feature they're building lol

[AndryHTC]

But didn't they already did that 3 years ago? https://github.com/supabase/workflows

Lots of people are waiting for news regarding workflows, but it looks like the project is dead. The last commit was 3 years ago.

Supabase is more than capable, but it takes some preliminary configuration.

Uncertain why this is downvoted. It's a solid solution to the problem directly leveraging Supabase. It's not "sanctioned" by the Supabase team, but part of the beauty of Postgres is that its flexibility provides its users with choices regarding how to solve many classes of problems.
