pgmq-go

A Go (Golang) client for Postgres Message Queue (PGMQ). Based loosely on the Rust client.

Usage

Start a Postgres instance with the PGMQ extension installed:

docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -p 5432:5432 quay.io/tembo/pgmq-pg:latest

Then

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/craigpastro/pgmq-go"
)

func main() {
    q, err := pgmq.New("postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    ctx := context.Background()

    err = q.CreateQueue(ctx, "my_queue")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    id, err := q.Send(ctx, "my_queue", map[string]any{"foo": "bar"})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    msg, err := q.Read(ctx, "my_queue", 30)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Archive the message by moving it to the "pgmq_<queue_name>_archive" table.
    // Alternatively, you can `Delete` the message, or read and delete in one
    // call by using `Pop`.
    _, err = q.Archive(ctx, "my_queue", id)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}
