Honker brings Postgres pub/sub, queues to SQLite

Honker is a Rust-based loadable SQLite extension that adds Postgres-style NOTIFY and LISTEN capabilities. It enables durable task queues and real-time cross-process communication directly within the database, eliminating the need for external brokers like Redis.

// ANALYSIS

The SQLite renaissance accelerates as it absorbs features traditionally reserved for heavy, multi-node databases.

–Monitoring the WAL file allows single-digit millisecond latency without the CPU overhead of aggressive polling
–Enqueueing tasks and writing business data now happens in a single atomic transaction, solving partial failure states
–Stripping out external dependencies like Redis drastically simplifies the deployment stack for single-node architectures
–Broad language bindings (Node, Python, Go, Rust) make it a drop-in upgrade for most existing SQLite backends
