I've exited countless Python/Django threads discussing future plans. Year -1: The community has a problem. Year 0: Proposal to fix the problem. Year 1: A small but vocal subset of the Python/Django community pops up in every thread: "It's not actually a problem." or "It's not an issue that my project would ever encounter so limited resources shouldn't be expended on it." Year 2: People are choosing other solutions because Python/Django isn't addressing the problem. Year 3: We'll form a committee. The committee doesn't think it's a problem. Year 4: The community has a problem. Fine. Why doesn't the community write a Python Enhancement Proposal/Django Enhancement Proposal (PEP/DEP)? Years 5-10: PEP/DEP ignored. Year 11: The community has a problem. PEP/DEP implemented and released. Year 12-22: Major packages refuse to support the change. Ye

ar 23: Last version not supporting the change deprecated. Year 23+1 day: Fork of last deprecated version Python not supporting change created and released. I have 15 years of code in Python still running but spend a little more than 50% of my time in other stacks. I don't notice as many people arguing against basic features, like a REST API package in Django, in non-Python/Django communities. The precursor to a Django REST API package, content negotiation, has been a draft DEP since early 2014 (https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/draft/content-negot...). That's going on 12 years of stalled progress for a feature that needed to be released in 2010. With Python/Django you learn not to wait because nothing is going to change. And yes, Python/Django are open source. And yes agin, I donate over $1,000/year to support F/OSS projects that I depend on.

I was using Redis and Celery but was not happy with the complexity. But then I found out that background workers are being implemented to Django. https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/accepted/0014-backg... This functionality has been backported as django-tasks library. You can use the database (i.e. Postgres) as the permanent storage. For periodic jobs and running the django-tasks, I use Superchronic, which is a Docker-compatible cron. It is compatible with cron, with the added benefit that you can run jobs with sub-minute granularity. I have had no problems with running Superchronic inside my fly.io app. I run Superchronic and Django with honcho and Procfiles.
