Day 30: Async Task Implementation
Building Production-Ready Background Tasks
Working Code Demo:
What We're Building Today
Today we're creating the heart of our metrics collection system - the async tasks that actually do the work. Think of yesterday's Celery setup as building the highway system; today we're creating the vehicles that travel on it.
Today's Build Agenda:
Metric collection tasks that gather system data
Notification tasks for alerts and reports
Report generation tasks for dashboards
Cleanup tasks for system maintenance
Task chaining for complex workflows
Why Async Tasks Matter in Real Systems
When Netflix processes millions of viewing events or when Stripe handles payment notifications, they don't block user interactions. Instead, they queue these operations as background tasks. Your metrics system needs the same reliability - users shouldn't wait while you collect CPU stats or generate reports.
