Re: Example uses of Celery

I use celery for the following:

1. Expensive tasks that you don't want the user waiting on. For
example: sending messages;
we have triggers for SMS, Email and iPhone APN messages. I don't
want the request/response
waiting around while I do all of that.
2. Tasks that could fail and need to be retried. For example:
updating settings on
the backend, you don't need complicated retry logic.
3. Replacement for cron. The biggest issue with cron is that it is
single server.
Once I switched to celery I don't care which processing server
launches the task.
