Introduction To Celery

Celery is an asynchronous task queue that allows users to offload long-running or blocking tasks from the main application thread to increase speed and scalability. It works by placing tasks in a message queue like RabbitMQ for Celery worker processes to retrieve, process, and store results asynchronously without blocking the main application. Common use cases include image processing, sending bulk emails, interacting with external APIs, and running periodic tasks instead of using cron jobs.
