Alternatives to django-crontab

Written By Mitul Nakum on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 | 6:45 PM



There are several alternatives to django-crontab that can be used to schedule tasks in a Django application. Some popular options include:


Celery: A distributed task queue that can be used to schedule tasks in a Django application. Celery supports various types of backends for storing task results and schedule information, such as Redis, RabbitMQ, and SQLAlchemy.


Schedule: A lightweight library for scheduling tasks in Python. Schedule supports in-process scheduling, which can be useful for running tasks within a Django application.


APScheduler: A lightweight, in-process task scheduler that can be used to schedule tasks in a Django application. It supports scheduling tasks at specific intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes) or at specific times (e.g., 3:00 PM on the first day of the month).


django-background-tasks: is a database-backed work queue for Django, it allows you to run Python functions asynchronously.


All of these are mature and widely used in the Python community, your choice will depend on your specific use case and requirements.
