Gearman vs pg-amqp-bridge: What are the differences?

What is Gearman? A generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes. Gearman allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events.

What is pg-amqp-bridge? Send Messages from PostgreSQL to RabbitMQ. This tool enables a decoupled architecture, think sending emails when a user signs up. Instead of having explicit code in your signup function that does the work (and slows down your response), you just have to worry about inserting the row into the database.

Gearman and pg-amqp-bridge belong to "Message Queue" category of the tech stack.

pg-amqp-bridge is an open source tool with 251 GitHub stars and 14 GitHub forks. Here's a link to pg-amqp-bridge's open source repository on GitHub.
