RedBeat <https://github.com/sibson/redbeat>_ is a
Celery Beat Scheduler <http://celery.readthedocs.org/en/latest/userguide/periodic-tasks.html>_
that stores the scheduled tasks and runtime metadata in Redis <http://redis.io/>_.
Why RedBeat?
#. Dynamic live task creation and modification, without lengthy downtime
#. Externally manage tasks from any language with Redis bindings
#. Shared data store; Beat isn't tied to a single drive or machine
#. Fast startup even with a large task count
#. Prevent accidentally running multiple Beat servers
For more background on the genesis of RedBeat see this blog post <https://blog.heroku.com/redbeat-celery-beat-scheduler>_
Getting Started
Install with pip:
.. code-block:: console
pip install celery-redbeat
Configure RedBeat settings in your Celery configuration file:
.. code-block:: python
redbeat_redis_url = "redis://localhost:6379/1"
Then specify the scheduler when running Celery Beat:
.. code-block:: console
celery beat -S redbeat.RedBeatScheduler
RedBeat uses a distributed lock to prevent multiple instances running.
To disable this feature, set:
.. code-block:: python
redbeat_lock_key = None
