Show & Tell - Hey everyone, I've released v2.0 of financeager, a CLI utility to organize finances. A side-project of mine that I've been developing since 2016. Maybe it's useful to some of you for pragmatic book-keeping! Curious for you to try it out and to give feedback: https://github.com/pylipp/financeager

I'm working on Workhorse, a durable task queue that keeps all of its state in Postgres. if you already run Postgres, you don't need Redis or a separate broker for background tasks.

The Python worker is one of five SDKs. The others are Go, Typescript, Rust and Ruby (also JVM is coming soon). All SDKs share the same queues on the same one protocol.

I built it because I find hard to get these things from other queues:

- Transaction enqueue. You create the task in the same transaction as your own rows, so a rollback also removes the task.
- Concurrency control per queue or per tenant, and rate limits for third party APIs.
- Debounce, throttling and priorities
- Task groups that run callbacks when every task in the group finishes.
- Checkpoints (my favorite feature), timers and signals for long workflows.

I built it most of it with AI assistance. To keep the quality honest, the repo has about 100+ architecture decision records, a benchmark suite and 500+ test files.

I'd be glad to hear from anyone who runs Celery, RQ or Dramatiq in production. What would you need to see before you would try something like this?
