Honker: Rust SQLite Extension Brings Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN Semantics for Agent Job Queues

GitHub·medium signal

New open-source Rust SQLite extension adds three primitives — ephemeral pub/sub, durable streams with per-consumer offsets, and at-least-once work queues — using the transactional outbox pattern so items only enqueue on successful commit. Bindings for Python, Node, Go, Ruby, Bun, and Elixir. For agent builders using SQLite as their data layer, this eliminates the need for Redis or a separate queue service; INSERT and enqueue commit in the same transaction.
