celery VS django-ninja

So this might be my understanding, but stuff like celery is more like an orchestrator that chunks up workloads (think Hadoop with multiple nodes).

In the Django world, you'd probably rely on Celery to do this for you. You're probably looking for something similar that works with Go. https://github.com/celery/celery

I've been doing some research and there doesn't seem to be much information on this issue, aditionally there's this but without a fix yet or any workaround: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/7792

RabbitMQ Classic mirror queues are very fragile to network partitioning. They are deprecated in favor of Quorum queues, but Celery doesn't support them yet : https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/6067

The Celery package provides some number of (undocumented!) result backends to store task results in different local, network, and cloud storages. The django-celery-result package adds options to use Django-specific ORM-based result storage, as well as Django-specific cache subsystem.

I spent 3 years building a high scale crawler on top of Celery.

I can't recommend it. We found many bugs in the more advanced features of Celery (like Canvas) we also ran into some really weird issues like tasks getting duplicated for no reason [1].

The most concerning problem is that the project was abandoned. The original creator is not working on it anymore and all issues that we raised were ignored. We had to fork the project and apply our own fixes to it. This was 4 years ago so maybe things improved since them.

Celery is also extremely complex.

I would recommend https://dramatiq.io/ instead.

You can use celery to process the file for extraction, saving and creating rar/zip.

Django Ninja [1], it forever changed how I write Django project, in a way so elegant and productive.

[1]: https://django-ninja.dev/

Django Ninja is a RESTful wrapper for Django, while UtilMeta Python Framework uses a more concise declarative ORM Schema for Django and other future-supporting ORMs like sqlachemy and Peewee to build RESTful APIs more efficiently, and supports not only Django but all Python mainstream frameworks like Django, Flask, Starlette, FastAPI, Sanic, Tornado, etc.

I can't recommend [django-ninja](https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja) enough. It's an easy to use, extremely fast, typed API for django. I've found it to be better in almost all aspects when compared to djangorestframework.

It's gaining popularity but is still widely unknown.

> The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something.

This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1].

Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for everything.

There is also a less known feature of Django called admindocs [2], which automatically generates a human readable, hyperlinked documentation for your models and relations between them.

Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF.

Actually that's not fully true. If you mix async and sync codes in django-ninja there will be some errors. Where's the proof ? django-ninja doesn't support async auth

Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library.
