Question About Django Scheduled Tasks with APScheduler
Turns out I needed to use Background Scheduler (example) rather than BlockingScheduler. Also had to wrap the code to handle() method (required for subclasses of 'BaseCommand')...

In the context of Python what is a Bob Job?
Maybe if your use case is “smallish” and doesn’t require the whole studio suite you could check out apscheduler for doing python “tasks” on a schedule and luigi to build pipelines.

Nextflow: Data-Driven Computational Pipelines
I've considered using Nextflow for bioinformatics pipelines but have yet to take the plunge. At work, I develop a proteomics pipeline that is composed of huey¹ tasks (Python library; simple alternative to Celery) which either use subprocess to call out to some external tool, or are just pure python. It runs in a worker container which is created by docker swarm, and all containers pull jobs from redis. For our scale, it works great. However, I don't have control over the resource utilization of individual steps, and in the past I've had issues with the pipeline blocking as a result of how I was chaining tasks together. I think something like Nextflow would remove these limitations, but one thing I think I would miss is the ability to debug individual pipeline steps locally with an interactive debugger. As far as I can tell, Nextflow has logging/tracing facilities but nothing quite like an interactive debugger. I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong, or even that I'm doing it wrong.

Background jobs with Django
Other options are DjangoQ and Huey, which tend to work ok. Of the two I prefer DjangoQ. Database backed, don't require the Redis/Celery rigmarole.

What's the best thing you've learned about Django this year?
Funny, just this moment i finally switched from Celery to huey. And so far I don't regret. huey looks very promising, has good documentation and is well integrated into DJango. You should give it a try: https://github.com/coleifer/huey
