Does this skill support scheduled tasks?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for Celery Beat, allowing you to schedule cron-like periodic jobs and maintenance tasks.

Can I use this for LLM-related background work?

While these patterns work for any async task, it is recommended to use LangGraph for complex LLM workflow persistence, though simple LLM calls can certainly be offloaded to these queues.

When should I choose ARQ over Celery?

ARQ is recommended for simpler, native async Python applications like FastAPI where low complexity is desired. Celery is better for complex enterprise workflows that require task chains, chords, and extensive monitoring.

How are task failures handled in these patterns?

The skill provides specific patterns for resilience, including automatic retries with exponential backoff, jitter, and proper error logging.
