Show HN: Honker – Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN Semantics for SQLite
Summary
Honker adds Postgres-style NOTIFY/LISTEN semantics to SQLite via a loadable extension, delivering durable pub/sub, a work queue, and event streams without external brokers. It emphasizes transactional coupling (enqueue/notify within the same tx) and WAL-based wakeups for near-instant cross-process notifications, with multi-language bindings. This article outlines architecture, core primitives, and practical usage, making it relevant for SMBs exploring embedded messaging and automation patterns with SQLite.
