Message-Broker-Using-Postgres

Introduction

This is a simple message broker system that uses Postgres as the message broker. The system is composed of two services, the producer and the consumer. The producer sends messages to the message broker and the consumer reads the messages from the message broker. The producer and the consumer are implemented in Python and the message broker is implemented in Postgres.
