Django Q2
What it is
Django Q2 is a task queue, scheduler, and worker application designed for Django, using Python multiprocessing to run tasks asynchronously. It supports multiprocessing worker pools, scheduled, cron, and repeated tasks, plus workflow features such as result hooks, groups, and chains. For monitoring, it provides a multi-cluster monitor and integrates with Django Admin. Supported brokers include Redis, IronMQ, Amazon SQS, MongoDB, and Django ORM. The project also lists Rollbar and Sentry support for error reporting, as well as signed and compressed packages. Its README describes the software as compatible with PaaS deployments using multiple instances, while the listed deployment model is self-hosted. Installation uses pip with the package name django-q2. Documentation says it is tested with Python 3.10 through 3.14 and works with Django 5.2, 6.0, and 6.1. English, German, and French are listed as available languages, with full documentation linked through Read the Docs. Django Q2 is free and MIT licensed. The project notes that Disque support was dropped.
