A Go client/server implementation of the Celery distributed task queue protocol, supporting Redis and AMQP brokers. It lets Go applications submit Celery tasks and run Celery-compatible workers, or act as a standalone Go distributed task queue.

Use cases

• run celery workers in go
• submit celery tasks from a go application
• migrate python web app background tasks to go
• build a distributed task queue in go
• interoperate go services with python celery
• offload long-running jobs to background workers

When to choose

• you have existing Python Celery infrastructure and want Go workers or producers
• you need a pure Go distributed task queue with Redis or AMQP
• you're migrating a Python web application's task processing to Go for performance

When to avoid

• you need Celery message protocol version 2 or pickle serialization
• you need a Go-native task queue without Celery compatibility (consider machinery or asynq)
• you need concurrent AMQP channel use, which this library does not support
