⚙ Full Stack
A Rust backend (server + worker pool) with a SvelteKit frontend, backed entirely by PostgreSQL for both application state and the job queue, with language-specific workers executing scripts in sandboxed containers.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Using Postgres itself as the job queue (via SKIP LOCKED) keeps the architecture simple while still allowing worker pools to scale horizontally for throughput, though very high job volumes eventually push Postgres write capacity as the shared bottleneck for both app state and queueing.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy server and worker pods separately (workers scale independently) plus a Postgres pod reached at <podName>.pod:5432; workers need access to language runtime images for script execution, so pull those through mirror.gcr.io too. The official docker-compose setup translates cleanly to Nexlayer's pod model.
