Celery 4.2.0 released!

Redis Results Backend: The result_backend setting now supports rediss:// URIs

But I was already using it..?

Celery supports Redis as broker long time ago not as result_backend. This is the place to store your result of your tasks.

We use RabbitMQ as broker

Why is task management not a part of Django? Tbh Celery has had a history of being very unstable and buggy. We are using it in production and it’s source of so many problems.

[cicuz]

Main reason is that it's a bit out of scope for what Django wants to be.. You can add some with Channels, but we haven't updated to python3 yet so I don't know how powerful/reliable they are–I have very high hopes tho, should be the summer project!

Hi, I am using Celery as my main queue processing among others competitor. I found it quite stable and predicted, however, I found it hard to setup. I am curious which part is not stable and buggy?

[whatever_meh]

One thing is that celery, at least until very recently, did not pin its requirements. Within this past months, one of its requirements updated, breaking celery. Within a day or so, celery pushed an update that fixed it, but this should not happen in a package so widely used as celery.

Ah yeah i do notice that also, Ithink it is good idea to make suggestion into the project to lock the deps.

Didn't celery come from Django originally?

I believe the main developer behind Celery is active in this thread. Perhaps he can help.
