Celery is an open-source, distributed task queue system that is used for executing tasks asynchronously in real time or scheduling them to run at a later time. It is highly suitable for handling a large volume of messages and is particularly useful for processing asynchronous or long-running tasks in web applications, such as sending emails or processing data. Celery integrates smoothly with various message brokers like RabbitMQ and Redis, and it supports different programming languages, although it's mainly used with Python. The platform emphasizes scalability and reliability, making it a popular choice for building scalable, maintainable applications.
