🔗 django-absurd: ceci n'est pas un queue

django-absurd integrates a Postgres-native workflow engine into Django, allowing developers to run background tasks and durable workflows seamlessly. It utilizes Django's existing database connection, minimizing overhead and setup complexity. To get started, developers must ensure compatibility with Python 3.12+, Django 6.0+, and use the psycopg driver. After adding django_absurd to the INSTALLED_APPS, the database schema is migrated, and tasks can be written using Django's @task decorator. The article outlines a straightforward task loop, from enqueuing to result retrieval, and highlights the use of workflow contexts for reliable task execution with checkpoints and retries. Key functionalities include tasks, workflows, cron jobs, worker management, and monitoring, making it a versatile solution for task management in Django applications.
