  • API contract between library and application developers
  • Swappable backends through settings.py
  • Built in backends:
    • ORM
    • "Immediate"
    • "Dummy"
  • Django 5.2 🤞
    • Backport for 4.2+

Q: Why something new?

A: It doesn't have to be

Q: Why something built-in?

  • Improve interoperability
  • Reduce cognitive load
  • Reduce barrier to entry

Out of scope

  • Completion / failed hooks
  • Bulk queueing
  • Automated task retrying
  • Task runner API
  • Unified observability
  • Cron-based scheduling
  • Task timeouts
  • Swappable argument serialization
