How can I use Celery for asynchronous tasks in my application?

You can use Celery to handle asynchronous tasks by setting it up with a message broker like RabbitMQ or Redis.

What are the steps to install and configure Celery?

First, install Celery using pip. Then, configure it in your application by creating a Celery instance and defining tasks.

Can you give me an example of a simple task?

Sure! Here's a simple task that adds two numbers:

from celery import Celery

app = Celery('tasks', broker='redis://localhost:6379/0')

@app.task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

How do I call this task asynchronously?

You can call it using add.delay(x, y), which will execute the task in the background.
