Objective

Celery is a really good framework for doing background task processing in Python (and other languages). While it is ridiculously easy to use celery, doing complex task flow has been a challenge in celery. (w.r.t task trees/graphs/dependecies etc.)

This talk introduces the audience to these challenges in celery and also explains how these can be fixed programmatically and by using latest features in Celery (3+)

Description

Celery is a really good framework for doing background task processing in Python (and other languages). While it is ridiculously easy to use celery, doing complex task flow has been a challenge in celery. (w.r.t task trees/graphs/dependecies etc.)

This talk introduces the audience to these challenges in celery and also explains how these can be fixed programmatically and by using latest features in Celery (3+)

The talk will provide tips and tricks in handling real life celery programming related to

  • task routing
  • conflict management
  • long running tasks
  • task co-ordination
  • task dependencies
  • task monitoring
  • celery deployment and management
  • celery canvas

The talk will also touch upon celery batch tasks (which can be used as a simpler replacement to other systems like apache kafka)

The talk will also include demos for explaining various scenarious
