Show HN: Chard – simple async/await background tasks for Django

• chard

  4 200 10.0 Python

  A simple async/await task queue for Django. One process, no threads, no other dependencies.

  Simple database-backed job queue

  

  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!
