Supabase Queues

Durable message queues with guaranteed delivery, powered by Postgres and pgmq.

Supabase Queues is a Postgres module that uses the pgmq extension to provide durable message queues with exactly-once delivery within a visibility window. Manage queues using SQL, the Supabase client libraries, or the Dashboard.
