In Postgres land bloat refers to dead tuples that are left in place during certain operations and need to be vacuumed later.

It’s challenging to write a queue that doesn’t create bloat, hence why this project is citing it as a feature.

Can’t you just partition the table by time (or whatever) and drop old partitions and not worry about vacuuming? Why do you need to keep around completed jobs forever?
