Is there a connection between this and the distributed task queue that I am missing, or do they just have the same name?
I seem to recall an article announcing this service incurring some developer ire a while ago due to choosing a name that clearly conflicts with an existing (and reasonably popular) service. Same confusion here, initially.
No connection. Just happen to have the same name.
Maybe they should use the eta kwarg to bill the customers in the future
Calling Celery a distributed task queue is like calling leather seats in a Mercedes a Formula 1 race car driver.
So it very well can be, but it isn't the state of the art? Maybe I should have said "self described distributed task queue."
It's trainer-wheels for people afraid of touching the stuff they're using.
