Appreciate the response, I'm learning some new things about the modern listening mechanisms for DBs which unlock more than I believed was possible.

For your first point - I would counter that a lot of data about my systems lives outside of the primary database. There is however an argument for adding a dependency, and for testing complexities. These are by and large solved problems at the scale I work with (not huge, not tiny).

I think both approaches work and I honestly just appreciate you guys holding Celery to task ;)
