Workers, Queues, and Tasks
Apps and services for running your Django apps in various parallel environments to the web server, freeing your project architecture from the HTTP-based service lifecycle:
* Construct daemons to batch-process large datasets
* Call functions on a recurring schedule
* Respond to system events
* Sync with external data sources without beach-balling
Use existing components (models, templates, &c) and your favorite Django design patterns in these new contexts as you need -- while including Pythonic batteries from disciplines beyond web development.
