Ask HN: What Is the SQLite of Queues?

I love how simple and lightweight sqlite is.

I'm looking for an open source queue solution with similar qualities. All I really want are topics/messages/publishers/subscribers. That's it.

I do not want to run ZooKeeper.

    beanstalkd might be what you are looking for. It's ancient but solid af. I know of systems still running today that use it. For something more modern, check out Nats—and if you are using Go, you can embed the server in your executable.

    Serious engineering question:

    Will SQLite work for your application?

    I’m sure there are better solutions on paper and for performance under common workloads. But if SQLite is good enough for your use case, it’s good enough for your use case.

    It probably isnt. Good luck.
