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

Oban is really awesome, are you inspired by it?

Title said “no overengineering” so I doubt it.

I would argue that Oban isn't overengineered.

If so should we also consider PostgreSQL overengineered?

It's a shame OP decided to use Elixir as base, many ecosystems don't have mature task queues (e.g. for Rust I had to roll my own: simple_queue) so the space IMO would be more welcoming.

On OTP doubt anything can even make a dent in Oban user base.

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
