Postgres as a better alternative to Kafka?

The article on the Dagster blog discusses the topic of message passing, comparing two popular methods: Apache Kafka and PostgreSQL as a message queue. The author points out that while Kafka is widely used and highly regarded for its capabilities, there are situations where PostgreSQL might be a more suitable solution. By leveraging existing infrastructure and technology familiarity, PostgreSQL can deliver the performance and reliability necessary in many applications. Additionally, PostgreSQL offers simplicity and ease of use, making it an appealing option for teams already working with this database. The article also highlights that recent improvements in PostgreSQL enable it to handle large amounts of data with concurrent queries, making it a competitive player in the message-passing system market.
