As engineers we should try to use the right tool for the job, which means thinking about the development team's strengths and weaknesses as well as differentiating factors your product should focus on. Often we are working in the cloud and it's much easier to use a queue or a log database service than manage a bunch of sql servers and custom logic. It can be more cost effective too once you factor in the development time and operational costs.

The fact that there is no common library that implements the authors strategy is a good sign that there is not much demand for this.
