OPEN SOURCE PROJECT
Flask Async Celery
An open-source project for running asynchronous Python tasks with Celery in Flask applications.
The problem
Celery works well for background jobs, but integrating asyncio-based code into a traditional Flask and Celery setup can become awkward.
This project explores a cleaner way to combine Flask applications, Celery workers, and asynchronous Python code.
What I built
- Flask and Celery integration
- AsyncIO task execution
- Celery worker configuration
- Reusable project structure
- Examples for asynchronous background tasks

Why I built it
I ran into the problem while working with Flask applications that needed both Celery background processing and asynchronous Python code.
The project became a way to experiment with the worker lifecycle, async event loops, and the boundaries between synchronous and asynchronous code.
