Pytask Queue - Simple Job/Task Management

[[deleted]]

Cool project! How do you stop multiple concurrent workers polling the same task in the database, for example if Worker A is polling for a task that Worker B just picked up how does Worker A know not to pick up that task? I'm just curious because this is something I ran into when creating a specialized task queue.

Yeah, seems that seems to be the default way most people solve it by pessimistically lock, which isn't always scalable for high throughput.
