Switch from Celery to RQ #58

Closed rgreinho closed 6 years ago

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

Issue Type

Current Behavior

We are currently using Celery, but it does not support python 3.7 so the backend is currently broken.

Expected Behavior

As Celery won't support python 3.7 before version 5, planned for March '19, we want to start using RQ for running our asynchronous tasks. As we are already using Redis for our broker, and clearly defined tasks, the transition should not be too hard.

Possible Solution

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

Hmm, I also Just found out that Celery 4.3 will official support python 3.7, which is supposed to be released on November 30, 2018 (still 2.5months away from now though...).

The master branch of Celery has working support for python 3.7. By installing it from the master branch, we're able to resume working on the backend.

Therefore I am closing this issue.
