What infrastructure is required to run these background tasks?

Most patterns provided (ARQ, Celery, Dramatiq) require a message broker, typically Redis or RabbitMQ, to handle the queuing and passing of tasks between the API and the worker.

Which background task framework is recommended for FastAPI?

This skill recommends ARQ (Async Redis Queue) for modern FastAPI applications because it is built natively for asyncio and provides a high-performance, lightweight alternative to Celery.

Can I use this skill for simple fire-and-forget tasks?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for using FastAPI's built-in BackgroundTasks utility for simple, non-persistent jobs that don't require an external broker.

Does it support scheduled or periodic tasks?

Absolutely. It provides specific configurations for ARQ cron jobs and Celery Beat schedules to handle recurring tasks like daily reports or database cleanup.

API 开发

Implements robust background processing and task queues in FastAPI using ARQ, Celery, or Dramatiq patterns.

关于

This skill streamlines the integration of asynchronous background jobs into FastAPI applications, offering standardized implementation patterns for ARQ, Celery, and Dramatiq. It provides comprehensive boilerplates for task definitions, worker configurations, and periodic cron jobs, allowing developers to offload long-running processes—such as email dispatching, file processing, or data synchronization—to dedicated workers while keeping the main API responsive and high-performing.

主要功能

Standardized configuration templates for ARQ (Async Redis Queue)
Comprehensive Celery and Dramatiq implementation patterns

0 GitHub stars
Ready-to-use task definitions for email sending and file processing
Clean dependency-based task enqueueing for FastAPI routes

使用场景

Implementing scheduled system maintenance and automated daily report generation
Offloading heavy API tasks like image processing or PDF generation to background workers
Handling high-volume asynchronous operations like webhooks and transactional emails
