celery VS typer

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.

He is probably most well know for creating FastAPI that I taught to some of my clients and Typer that I've never used.

I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it.

Adding CLI capabilities. My preferred library here is typer.

I just heard about this but it seems to be pretty much the type of thing you want and want fast.

Docstrings are for documenting how a function/ class/ method/ module works. Often you don't need to add a docstring to your main function because no one will be importing it to use elsewhere. And if you want it to run as a CLI, then there are better ways to document the available options. For example, typer does most of it for you, or in click you add the help text to the decorator.

Most computing tasks in airflow DAGs are KubernetesPodOperator containing a CLI (Python Typer). It allows us to pass arguments easily to run DAG manually if needed (the new UI to pass arguments to DAG in airflow 2.6 is really nice). Arguments allow us to replay DAG easily (change start / end dates for instance).

So it's basically the main .gitlab-ci.yml file plus a separate Python CI app using Typer for the AWS instrumentation.

Similarly for Typer, which is literally "the FastAPI of CLIs"[1]. Handy to type your `main` parameters and have CLI argument parsing. For more complicated cases, it's a wrapper around Click.
