When building evaluation infrastructure for generative AI systems at Gentrace [1], we needed a task queue that could handle thousands of tasks per day while remaining simple to self-host.

We considered traditional options like RabbitMQ and Kafka but wanted to avoid the operational overhead for our self-hosted customers. That's when we turned to PostgreSQL.

Using PostgreSQL's FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, we built a task queue that supports retries, parallelism, and large payloads, all without adding new infrastructure. Sometimes, PostgreSQL really is all you need!

It's been running in production at Gentrace, handling 8-10k tasks daily with peaks of 45k during large-scale evaluations. The architecture is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain.

We decided to open-source a version of this implementation as Simple Task Queue. It includes:

- A task queue built on PostgreSQL - Type-safe task definitions and scheduling in TypeScript - Support for retries, parallel processing, and scheduled tasks

We also wrote a deep dive about how we built it on our blog: https://gentrace.ai/blog/task-queue-simplification

We'd love feedback! Try it out, and let us know how it works for you.

Excited to give this a try! A visual environment seems like a natural fit for chained LLM calls.

Have you considered supporting OSS LLMs? Inference servers like LocalAI or vLLM expose APIs for various OSS models with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so might not be much more work to integrate.


Thanks!

And yes, we'd love to support OSS LLMs. And we welcome contributions ;)

Rivet also has a plug-in system, and our friends at AssemblyAI were actually able to develop a plug-in for using their audio transcription and understanding AI models in Rivet!


We recently opensourced a similar platform for building workflows by chaining LLMs visually along with LocalAI support.

Check it out at https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack. Like you said, it was fairly easy to integrate LocalAI and is a great project.


Nice! Love this!

That's an interesting use. We don't have that currently, since we haven't had anyone request workflows only using our evaluators as a service.

That said, we would like every part of our application to be controllable through API requests eventually, which would naturally support your use case.

Would you be open to diving deeper into your requirements? The best way to reach us is at support@gentrace.ai


JavaScript and the library is Observable Plot

Cool - I'm glad to see more tech similar to Firebase pop up that's self hosted.

The big request would be mobile. I mostly use FB for the web but knowing that I could create a mobile version using the same platform would be great.
