Description

Celery is a distributed task queue application for executing asynchronous tasks. It is written in Python and supports multiple message passing backends (e.g. RabbitMQ and Redis). Celery is commonly used for background task processing in web applications, including offloading long-running tasks from web servers. Some of the common tasks that Celery can process include sending emails, processing data or image files, or running system maintenance tasks. It can also be used to schedule tasks such as periodic jobs. Celery makes it easy to manage large numbers of tasks in a distributed manner, ensuring that tasks are processed quickly and efficiently. It is also designed to be fault-tolerant, so that tasks are not lost if a node goes down.
