Background Task Features in Django 6.0. How to Run Tasks in Production?

Abdulla Fajal 1 week, 6 days ago

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring the new background task features introduced in Django 6.0. I understand that:

You can define tasks using @task and enqueue them.

Django provides simple backends like ImmediateBackend and DummyBackend for development/testing.

Django itself does not run queued tasks in production, so an external worker or backend is needed.

My questions are:

What is the recommended way to execute Django 6.0 background tasks in production?

Are there any official production-ready backends for this feature, or should I integrate Celery/RQ?

Can Django 6.0 tasks handle scheduling, retries, or periodic tasks, or is that entirely up to external solutions?

Thanks in advance!
