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.
