How can I scale background tasks in Django?

You can scale background tasks in Django by using task queues like Celery or RQ. Have you used any of these before?

I've heard of Celery. How does it work?

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It allows you to run tasks in the background.

What are the benefits of using Celery over other options?

Celery is highly scalable, supports multiple message brokers, and has a rich ecosystem of tools for monitoring and management.

Can you give me an example of a simple task using Celery?

Sure! You can define a task in a Django app like this: @app.task def add(x, y): return x + y. Then call it with add.delay(4, 6).
