##Background
pg-boss was created to leverage recent additions in PostreSQL 9.5 (specifically [SKIP LOCKED](src) and upserts)

pg-boss was created to leverage recent additions in PostreSQL 9.5 (specifically [SKIP LOCKED](http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/what-is-select-skip-locked-for-in-postgresql-9-5) and upserts)
which significantly enhances it's ability to act as a reliable, distributed message queue.

to my job fetch CTE.
