wakaq-ts VS django-rq

For simple stuff, I tend to use https://github.com/rq/django-rq. Although scheduling tasks there does not work well in my experience. If I need something to run by schedule, than better just plain cron.

Performing tests on student images can be a time-consuming process, taking several minutes. Application has to download the image from the registry, create a container, wait for the application to load, and perform the test scenarios. To efficiently utilize the available hardware and handle increased server demand during peak times, a task queue was implemented using django-rq.

Yep, rq is simple and good: https://python-rq.org/ It also has a Django wrapper: https://github.com/rq/django-rq

I use RQ (Redis Queue) and it's very cool! https://github.com/rq/django-rq https://python-rq.org/patterns/django/

I love the simplicity of this idea because for lots of sites the database works just fine as a queue backend and it reduces the amount of infrastructure needed. I currently use https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for devmarks.io which also uses the database to store tasks instead of a dedicated queue infrastructure. `Django Q` also has an option to use the database, but I haven't tested it at all: https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#orm. And if you are already running `redis` for your site, https://github.com/rq/django-rq is another option.

The one benefit of this package is that it is async-first which will be beneficial as Django continually adds in more async capabilities. Nice work! I'm looking forward to trying this out and seeing how it works!

https://github.com/rq/django-rq if you already have redis available or https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for something even simpler. I’ve used both and vastly prefer them over celery.

if you use redis there is https://github.com/rq/django-rq as well
