Example code accompanying Miguel Grinberg's blog article 'Using Celery with Flask', demonstrating how to run background tasks with Celery in a Flask application. It includes two demos: sending emails asynchronously and launching asynchronous jobs with progress updates in the web page.

Use cases

• learn how to integrate Celery with Flask
• run background tasks in a Flask app
• send emails asynchronously from a web application
• show progress updates for long-running jobs in the browser
• set up a Celery worker with Redis as broker
• example of scalable task queue architecture in Python

When to choose

• you are learning Celery and Flask integration from a well-known tutorial
• you need a minimal working reference for background tasks in Flask
• you want to see email sending and progress-tracking task patterns

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready task queue solution rather than example code
• you use a framework other than Flask
• you expect active development, new features, or support
