Setting up Kafka or such enterprise oriented software with their clusters or dedicated servers is heavy and bothering enough that most small teams or indie hackers skip it entirely and making compromise to use in-memory queues.

I wanted something in between: a persistent queue that is simple to run (one binary, which makes one sqlite db), gets real fault isolation and crash recovery due to Elixir, easy to inspect (open ezra.db in any SQLite browser and see every task), and requires no new client library - it speaks the Redis Streams wire protocol, so any Redis client in any language just works out of the box.

Congrats on the launch. Using the Redis protocol was a pretty clever choice. Does it have to run as a stand-alone server?

Title said “no overengineering” so I doubt it.

This is nice. For those wanting to stay on Postgres for DAG type of workflows, check out pgmq based PgFlow: https://github.com/agoodway/pgflow
