How can I implement task retries in Django Celery?

You can implement task retries in Django Celery by using the retry method within your task function.

Can you show me an example of how to use the retry method?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task(bind=True, max_retries=3)
def my_task(self):
    try:
        # Your task logic here
    except Exception as exc:
        raise self.retry(exc=exc, countdown=60)

What does the countdown parameter do?

The countdown parameter specifies the number of seconds to wait before retrying the task.

Are there any best practices for using retries?

Yes, it's best to set a reasonable limit on retries, use exponential backoff for delays, and log failures for monitoring.
