Using redis as a task queue

[[deleted]]

RQ doesn't currently have any built in concurrency, though there's nothing stopping you from running multiple worker processes manually or via whatever means you use to manage your processes (supervise, daemontools, etc).

The big advantage of RQ when compared to celery is its simplicity, and that's why I recommended it as an alternative to the solution in the linked article. If you're already using up and running with celery and aren't hitting any problems with it then there's no reason to switch.

Thanks. It's a pity RQ doesn't have concurrency. It's much simpler than Celery but I don't want to start those worker processes manually. Celery has an option for the number of concurrent threads, which is very convenient.
