## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: message-queue, concurrency, serialization
- domain: microservices, backend
- platform: go, windows
- tags: celery, task-queue, redis, amqp, background-jobs, python-interop, automation, linux, macos
