Look, if you’re building Django apps and haven’t thought about background tasks yet, you’re probably leaving your users hanging—and you’re missing out on delivering a seamless experience. Here’s the deal: Django doesn’t natively handle background tasks. That means if you want to send a welcome email or process any slow operations while your user is onboarding, they’ll be stuck waiting. You and I both know that’s not what top-performing apps do.
So, I created a step-by-step program that shows you how to offload your time-consuming processes—so you’re not making people twiddle their thumbs for 3–5 seconds while your app sends an email or processes something heavy.
In this course, you’ll discover:
- Why Celery is a go-to solution for Python background tasks and how it seamlessly integrates with Django.
- How to ditch the complexity of managing separate servers by using QStash—a webhook-based solution that can mimic Celery’s API with just a single Django process through django-qstash.
- The exact blueprint to quickly spin up background tasks so your main application flow runs fast and your users stay happy.
- Real-world examples of implementing both Celery and django-qstash in your apps—so you can pick the best fit for your project.
By the end of this training, you’ll have a complete toolkit for handling Django background tasks without sacrificing speed or UX. In other words, no more frustrated users stuck on loading screens or dreaded spinning wheels.
Stop losing users (and revenue) over something as fixable as waiting around for background tasks. Join me inside this course and let’s get your Django app running smoother than ever—so you can keep your users active, happy, and, ultimately, more profitable.
