Django Cloud Task Queue

I’m developing and maintaining a Python package to easily integrate your Django Application with Google Cloud Task.

Some features:

  • Easily push tasks to Cloud Task using a decorator
  • Automatically route all tasks from a single endpoint
  • Ease scheduling with native python datetime
  • Named task to avoid duplicated
  • Local development support with Redis Queue

Simple and beautiful task definition

from datetime import timedelta
from django.utils.timezone import now
from cloudtask import (
    CloudTaskRequest,
    task)

@task(queue='default')
def add(request: CloudTaskRequest, a: int = 5, b: int = 4) -> None:
    print(f'Running task with args {a=} and {b=}')
    print(a + b)

# pushing task to queue
add(a=2, b=4).delay()

# executing the task immediately without push to queue
add(a=30)()

# scheduling the task
at = now() + timedelta(days=1)
add(b=15).schedule(at=at)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

See the repository and full documentation on my Github page.
