Engineering Decision Guide

Which Should You Choose: pgmq or rig?

✓ Choose pgmq If:

  • Your stack requires Rust standard tooling and runtime conventions.
  • Your team values targeted specialization.
  • You prioritize its PostgreSQL License licensing terms for proprietary enterprise distribution.
  • You need verified maintenance cadence (11.5/25 pts in velocity).

✓ Choose rig If:

  • Your application architecture is built around Rust.
  • You prefer its modular footprint and release update cadence (20/25 pts).
  • You want to take advantage of its documentation ecosystem (2.5/15 pts).
  • Your team is seeking active issue resolution with low maintainer stagnation.
