Kafkaesque

Kafkaesque is a transactional outbox built for PostgreSQL and, primarily, Kafka.

• Transactional safety for messages: if they were created, they will be eventually published. They're only created if the transaction commits
• Ordering: messages are published sequentially for topic/partition combinations
• Shutdown safety: has graceful shutdown and rescue for cases where it doesn't happen.
• Observability: all operations publish telemetry events
• Garbage collection: outbox table is periodically cleaned

Installation
