What are the best practices for using Celery with Django?

When using Celery with Django, it's important to follow best practices like configuring your broker properly, using task retries, and keeping your tasks idempotent.

Can you explain what idempotent tasks are?

Idempotent tasks are those that can be safely retried without causing unintended side effects. For example, if a task updates a record, it should be able to handle being called multiple times without duplicating the update.
