Honker brings Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN semantics to SQLite via a Rust extension and bindings, enabling Python queues and Kafka-style durable streams. It exposes SQL helpers like notify and honker_stream_read_since, and uses WAL mode with near-real-time polling of the .db-wal to deliver transactions. It implements the transactional outbox pattern to ensure items enqueue only after a commit.
