Is Postgres fast enough for job processing these days? We do hundreds of millions of jobs now and even years ago when our volume was a fraction of that, we got a huge performance boost moving from Postgres + Que to Redis + Sidekiq. Has that changed in the intervening years?

Hundreds of millions over what time frame? I got a system with Rails/Solid Queue + Postgres and doing about 20M jobs/day on a $45/mo VM with plenty of room to spare.
