To summarize quickly RabbitMQ doe snot seem to be as greedy as I expected (probably around 19MB for my expected load) Django-ztask is a small brokerless solution Celery supports multiple brokers with difference performance. the dd broker would not require an additional process (apart from celery) uwsgi has a spooler which might be what I'm looking for I just would like to execute some tasks, which are too slow to be treated directly within an HTTP request sequentially one after the other. However if I used uwsgi I had to look for an alternative implementation and a small wrapper such, that the system would still be working on a windows host without uwsgi. (performance on windows is not crucial, but it should work) Now I just need some time to test some of these options on windows PC and on my tiny virtual linux host. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
