Background Tasks with FastAPI Background Tasks and Celery + Redis - FastAPI Beyond CRUD (Part 20)

In this video, we dive deep into boosting your FastAPI application by offloading time-consuming tasks to the background. We'll start by exploring FastAPI's built-in background tasks, demonstrating how to execute functions asynchronously without blocking the main thread.

Next, we'll introduce Celery, a powerful task queue system, to handle more complex background jobs. You'll learn how to integrate Celery with FastAPI, creating a robust and scalable architecture for your application.

To conclude, we'll showcase Flower, a user-friendly web interface for monitoring and managing Celery tasks. This tool provides insights into your task queues, helping you troubleshoot and optimize performance effectively.
