This article is great! It was long I was looking for a simple article explaining what options are there. I've been developing custom semifunctional queue systems for years, and I always wanted to know why we could not use an existing one. It looks like DIY was the rule back then.



Thanks. Yeah, DIY was pretty much the norm. Jobs as table rows, in memory arrays, the whole deal. Spent quite a bit of my life writing glue and management code that should have just been queues.
