Hi HN, I'm the lead engineer on Firebase Queue. I think it will make processing background tasks in Firebase much easier, and we're already using it for some projects internally. I'd love to hear what you think when you try it out!

Firebase and AWS user. Is this similar to AWS SQS. Any performance or other benefits?

Is this using the streaming API or polling?

How does this compare to the reliability of RabbitMQ on the server side?

Can you have multiple simultaneous queues? And multiple listeners per queue?

What is latency and performance like, especially with third-party server workers?
