API Design: Coroutines APIs (Janurary-2017)

I am currently dealing with a lot of libraries at work. Both third party as well as libraries written or being currently in process of being written by me. I absolutely love writing and working with libraries. Especially if they present or bring me to either a new or different approach to solve a problem. Or at least provide a different view.

Over time I noticed however that quite regulary we had to decide that we cannot use a third party library. Often it is the usual reason.

Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

RDBMS-based job queues have been criticized recently for being unable to handle heavy loads. And they deserve it, to some extent, because the queries used to safely lock a job have been pretty hairy. SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE works fine at first, but then you add more workers, and each is trying to SELECT FOR UPDATE the same row (and maybe throwing NOWAIT in there, then catching the errors and retrying), and things slow down.

On top of that, they have to actually update the row to mark it as locked, so the rest of your workers are sitting there waiting while one of them propagates its lock to disk (and the disks of however many servers you're replicating to). QueueClassic got some mileage out of the novel idea of randomly picking a row near the front of the queue to lock, but I can't still seem to get more than an an extra few hundred jobs per second out of it under heavy load.

So, many developers have started going straight t
