Distributed Task Queue
|
|
|
|
Task queues are used as a mechanism to distribute work across threads or machines.
|
|
|
|
A task queue's input is a unit of work, called a task, dedicated worker processes
|
|
then constantly monitor the queue for new work to perform.
|
|
|
|
Celery communicates via messages, usually using a broker to mediate between clients
|
|
and workers. To initiate a task a client puts a message on the queue, the broker
|
|
then delivers the message to a worker.
|
|
|
|
A Celery system can consist of multiple workers and brokers, giving way to high
|
|
availability and horizontal scaling.
