    One more practical point from my experience: sometimes the problem is not in your code or even in your configuration, but in Celery itself or in lower-level libraries such as Kombu (for example https://github.com/celery/kombu/issues/2258).

    Celery's flower utility doesn't work with SQS or GCP's {Cloud Tasks, Cloud Pub/Sub, Firebase Cloud Messaging FWIU} but does work with AMQP, which is a reliable messaging protocol.

    RabbitMQ is backed by mnesia, an Erlang/OTP library for distributed Durable data storage. Mnesia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnesia

    SQLite is written in C and has lots of tests because aerospace IIUC.

    There are many extensions of SQLite; rqlite, cr-sqlite, postlite, electricsql, sqledge, and also WASM: sqlite-wasm, sqlite-wasm-http

    It is feasible and there are a number of ways to do it. There are a few issues, though, mainly how to make sure that you are accessing the latest data and not getting part of the data mid write. A database handles these issues pretty well, since generally they are meant to be an intermediary between different processes. Another solution, that is often more flexible, is a message queue, like this one: https://github.com/celery/kombu
  • Messaging and Madness: Sending Messages with AMQP and Amazon MQ
    1 project | dev.to | 30 Oct 2021
    Above I use the library Kombu to create some connections and send some stuff. I started by setting up our environment variables. Then created exchange and queue objects. Finally, I made our connection object and the producer object, and then we sent a simple “Hello” message.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing mrq and kombu you can also consider the following projects:

celery - Distributed Task Queue (development branch)

pika - Pure Python RabbitMQ/AMQP 0-9-1 client library

rq - Simple job queues for Python

simpleq - A simple, infinitely scalable, SQS based queue.
