How do django tasks compare with celery?

Question

I need to write process records stored in a database. New entries are created on the fly in real time.

I looked briefly at celery and stumbled upon django-tasks Celery requires additional software. Not so with django challenges. Has anyone had any experience with django tasks, its performance and reliability?

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to achieve.

If you want to achieve good performance with a lot of small tasks running in the background: Use celery.

On the other hand, if you want to achieve good performance for several "heavy" tasks: Use django tasks.

Interesting Facts

Celery has a huge community.

The Django community is relatively small.

This means that you are likely to get extra support with celery when you have problems.
