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

Not sure if I should use celery or asyncio

Building Llama as a Service (LaaS)
Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

FastStream: Python's framework for Efficient Message Queue Handling
Later, we discovered Propan, a library created by Nikita Pastukhov, which solved similar problems but for RabbitMQ. Recognizing the potential for collaboration, we joined forces with Nikita to build a unified library that could work seamlessly with both Kafka and RabbitMQ. And that's how FastStream came to be—a solution born out of the need for simplicity and efficiency in microservices development.

The Complete Microservices Guide
Inter-Service Communication: Middleware provides communication channels and protocols that enable microservices to communicate with each other. This can include message brokers like RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, RPC frameworks like gRPC, or RESTful APIs.

Project Structure Review [.Net] [Console]
This is an implementation of pub/sub. The publisher is on a separate project. The message broker is Azure Service Bus. We use NServiceBus for code implementation. I use rabbitMQ broker for local tests. Nothing I can do about the tech stack. This is more of a high level single project structure review 😅

The Role of Queues in Building Efficient Distributed Applications
RabbitMQ is a robust and highly configurable open-source message broker that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

Should I chain calls in backend?
When using third-party services, especially within a "transaction", it's often a good idea to use a persistent Message Queue (MQ) system like RabbitMQ. Go through all their tutorials to get a really good understanding of how message queues work and how they can be used to solve your problem.

Delayed events pattern, no more crons
The best technical solution to provide the event queues is to use a message-broker technology like RabbitMQ.
