## What it is
Django Q is a native multiprocessing distributed task queue for Django, supporting asynchronous, scheduled, cron, and repeated tasks with Django Admin integration. It works with multiple brokers including Redis, SQS, MongoDB, Disque, IronMQ, or the Django ORM itself.

## Use cases
- run background tasks in django
- schedule cron jobs from a django app
- queue async jobs with redis
- process tasks in parallel with a worker pool
- monitor task queue clusters
- chain and group task results

## When to choose
- you have a Django project and need background or scheduled tasks
- you want a queue that can run with just the ORM, no Redis required
- you need Django Admin integration for monitoring tasks

## When to avoid
- you are not using Django
- you need a maintained project - consider django-q2 or Celery
- you need asyncio-native task processing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: message-queue, scheduling, workflow-automation, monitoring
- domain: backend, web-development, microservices
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: django, task-queue, background-jobs, cron-scheduler, multiprocessing, redis-broker, automation
