Loved digging into Python task queues with my friends at Judoscale 🥷
Choosing a Python task queue? Jeff Morhous compared Celery vs RQ:
🧠 Celery: Feature-rich but complex
🚀 RQ: Simple & easy to deploy
Jeff's advice: Most apps do fine with RQ until they need more horsepower. Then consider making the switch to Celery.
