redbeat VS flower

afaik you cant dynamically create scheduled tasks - but i was able to achieve this with redbeat. curious to see what more experienced ppl have to say as well.

of course it does. Appliku out of the box provides a way to provision redis and rabbmitmq.

I have yet to write a tutorial about celery.

To specify processes to run you use Procfile. Specify your celery commands and enable them in Process tab in Appliku interface.

In order to have celery beat working you should use redbeat: https://github.com/sibson/redbeat

Other than that – no specific requirements. Drop me a line in contacts on our site if you need any help. Or in our Discord Community: https://appliku.com/discord

Use flower to monitor workers and tasks.

Not sure what your criteria for good observability ist, but flower served me well enough for this in the last couple of years.

From experience i would not use threads for this or any background jobs. I would use Celery or Flask-RQ2 to be your workers, you will also probably end up using them to run other tasks as you encounter the need for other jobs. They both use Redis as a broker and job store and you can use Redis for other things like caching and so many other useful features. I kind of like RQ2 more then Celery because its a little simpler but Celery has a lot more to offer, more features. RQ2 has rq-dashboard for monitoring jobs and Celery has Flower.
