This repository contains some sample code to investigate the overhead of Celery. To be specific, it tries to answer the following questions:

1. What is the overhead of scheduling Celery tasks? Where does this depend on?
2. Does Celery prioritization work, and how does it work?

This project can be installed with the following command:

poetry install

Celery can be started with the following command:

# Make sure the poetry environment is active
$(which celery) -A celery_test.app:app worker -Q tasks --loglevel info

Tests are made using pytest. They are made to show several usages on how celery can be used. Also, tests are designed to answer the questions above.
