Why Graphile Worker?

The reason I chose Graphile Worker as a async job worker is that it is independent from Redis or MongoDB like other node.js async job workers. I think it is good to use PostgreSQL as a single source of truth for the application because in most cases I use PostgreSQL as a database.
