Task queues are used as a mechanism to distribute work across threads or
machines.
A task queue’s input is a unit of work, called a task, dedicated worker
processes then constantly monitor the queue for new work to perform.
Celery communicates via messages, usually using a broker
to mediate between clients and workers. To initiate a task a client puts a
message on the queue, the broker then delivers the message to a worker.
A Celery system can consist of multiple workers and brokers, giving way
to high availability and horizontal scaling.
Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any
language. In addition to Python there’s node-celery_ for Node.js,
a PHP client, gocelery, gopher-celery_ for Go, and rusty-celery_ for Rust.
Language interoperability can also be achieved by using webhooks
in such a way that the client enqueues an URL to be requested by a worker.

Celery version 5.3.5 runs on:
This is the version of celery which will support Python 3.8 or newer.
If you’re running an older version of Python, you need to be running
an older version of Celery:
Celery is a project with minimal funding,
so we don’t support Microsoft Windows but it should be working.
Please don’t open any issues related to that platform.
Celery is usually used with a message broker to send and receive messages.
The RabbitMQ, Redis transports are feature complete,
but there’s also experimental support for a myriad of other solutions, including
using SQLite for local development.
Celery can run on a single machine, on multiple machines, or even
across datacenters.
If this is the first time you’re trying to use Celery, or you’re
new to Celery v5.3.5 coming from previous versions then you should read our
getting started tutorials:
First steps with Celery_
Tutorial teaching you the bare minimum needed to get started with Celery.
Next steps_
A more complete overview, showing more features.

You can also get started with Celery by using a hosted broker transport CloudAMQP. The largest hosting provider of RabbitMQ is a proud sponsor of Celery.
Simple
Celery is easy to use and maintain, and does not need configuration files.
It has an active, friendly community you can talk to for support,
like at our mailing-list_, or the IRC channel.
Here’s one of the simplest applications you can make:
… code-block:: python
from celery import Celery
app = Celery('hello', broker='amqp://guest@localhost//')
@app.task
def hello():
return 'hello world'
Highly Available
Workers and clients will automatically retry in the event
of connection loss or failure, and some brokers support
HA in way of Primary/Primary or Primary/Replica replication.
Fast
A single Celery process can process millions of tasks a minute,
with sub-millisecond round-trip latency (using RabbitMQ,
py-librabbitmq, and optimized settings).
Flexible
Almost every part of Celery can be extended or used on its own,
Custom pool implementations, serializers, compression schemes, logging,
schedulers, consumers, producers, broker transports, and much more.

Celery is easy to integrate with web frameworks, some of which even have
integration packages:
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `Django`_ | not needed |
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `Pyramid`_ | `pyramid_celery`_ |
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `Pylons`_ | `celery-pylons`_ |
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `Flask`_ | not needed |
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `web2py`_ | `web2py-celery`_ |
+--------------------+------------------------+
| `Tornado`_ | `tornado-celery`_ |
+--------------------+------------------------+
The integration packages aren’t strictly necessary, but they can make
development easier, and sometimes they add important hooks like closing
database connections at fork.

… _celery-installation:
You can install Celery either via the Python Package Index (PyPI)
or from source.
To install using pip:
::
$ pip install -U Celery
… _bundles:
Celery also defines a group of bundles that can be used
to install Celery and the dependencies for a given feature.
You can specify these in your requirements or on the pip
command-line by using brackets. Multiple bundles can be specified by
separating them by commas.
::
$ pip install "celery[redis]"
$ pip install "celery[redis,auth,msgpack]"
The following bundles are available:
Serializers
:``celery[auth]``:
for using the ``auth`` security serializer.
:``celery[msgpack]``:
for using the msgpack serializer.
