This is neat. Would be cool if there was support for a dead letter or retry queue. The idea of deleting an event transactionally with the result of processing said event is pretty nice.

Retries are baked in as message re-becomes visible after a configurable time. For dead letter you can move to another queue on the nth retry.

This is exactly how we do this in our SaaS at Tembo.io. We check read_ct, and move the message if >= N. I think it would be awesome if this were a built-in feature though.
