Django background tasks with threading module.
NOTE: No need celery anymore for single-time-run background tasks
Documentation: https://ozcanyarimdunya.github.io/dj_threading/
- User send a request to start a long running task
- Django receives the thread and spawns a thread to do something else.
- Thread starts working at background
- Django finish his actions and send response to user
- (Later) Thread finished
We created a django model when user starts a task and this model's id sent to long running task as argument.
We can get/change/save model in this task. During this time we can access this model on any django view.
So with this we can set custom status on model in task and access them in anywhere at anytime.
