Overview

In between of celery <https://github.com/celery/celery>, distributed_task is extremely lightweight. We’d decided to keep it simple with less of flexibility but straight at the needs. Just define for each method a task-method using the decorator and delay it at run time.

Use case

The goal is to prevent “heavy” tasks to be executed between a web request and it’s response.

Examples for those tasks are:

• Sending e-mails.
• Generation of pdf/csv/... files.
• Rendering of images, videos.
