Any code or blog written by Adam is worth spending some time on.
It will be interesting to see how the tasks framework develops and expands. I am sad to see the great Django-Q2 lumped in with the awful Celery though.

There are bugs and issues, but because so many people are using it, you’re rarely the first to stumble upon a problem. We processed double-digit millions of messages daily with Celery + RabbitMQ without major obstacles. Regardless of what people say, it should be your first go-to.
I often prefer designing around explicit queues and building workers/dispatchers. One queuing system I miss is the old Google App Engine one - you set up the queue, the URL it calls with the payload (in your own app), the rate it should use, and that's it.
