I'm excited to announce that I'll be leading an in-depth tutorial at DjangoCon US 2024 titled "Efficient Django: Mastering Asynchronous Tasks with Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis." This session is scheduled for Sunday, September 22, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM EDT, and will take place in Junior Ballroom A1-A2.

Using Django for serving REST APIs with permission control and customizing the default admin panel
In the session, we will see how we can use Django to serve APIs. Create REST Endpoints quickly with DRF. Implement proper permissions on the REST endpoints, for example, an admin can perform any operation on any data. But a specific user can perform a limited operation on certain specific resources. Respond with different responses as per the defined user’s permission level. For example, the admin will get all the fields in the response, but a normal user will get only a selected field of the model. Implement Pagination on the REST endpoint. Create custom endpoints on the REST Endpoints.

Session Overview

In the dynamic world of web development, efficiently managing high-volume, asynchronous tasks is crucial for building scalable applications. This workshop is meticulously designed for Django developers aiming to enhance their applications' performance through effective asynchronous task management. The session combines theoretical insights with hands-on practice, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

What to Expect During the 3.5-Hour Tutorial

This comprehensive session is structured to provide a balanced mix of theoretical knowledge and practical application. Here's a breakdown of what we'll cover:

1. Setting Up Celery with Django

  • Integration Steps: We'll begin with a step-by-step guide on integrating Celery into your Django project, covering environment setup and best practices to ensure a seamless configuration.

2. Configuring RabbitMQ

  • Message Broker Setup: Learn how to set up RabbitMQ as a reliable message broker to handle task queues efficiently, facilitating smooth communication between your Django application and Celery.

3. Utilizing Redis

  • Efficient Caching and Storage: Implement Redis for efficient result storage and caching, enhancing task processing speed and overall application performance.

4. Managing Multiple Queues

  • Task Prioritization: Understand how to set up and manage multiple queues in Celery, allowing for the organization and prioritization of diverse task types within your application.

5. Scheduling Tasks with Celery Beat

  • Periodic Task Automation: Discover how to schedule periodic tasks efficiently using Celery Beat, enabling your application to perform routine operations automatically at specified intervals.

6. Implementing Retry Mechanisms

  • Ensuring Task Reliability: Learn to implement robust retry mechanisms for failed tasks, ensuring reliability and consistency in your applications by handling exceptions and retries gracefully.

7. Exploring Real-World Use Cases

  • Practical Applications: We'll delve into practical examples and use cases, applying the concepts learned to real-world scenarios, such as sending emails, processing files, and handling background data synchronization.

Key Takeaways for Participants

By the end of this tutorial, attendees will:

  • Enhance Application Performance: Gain the skills to implement asynchronous task processing, leading to more responsive and scalable Django applications.
  • Master Essential Tools: Develop proficiency in integrating and configuring Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis within Django projects.
  • Implement Robust Task Management: Learn to manage multiple task queues, schedule periodic tasks, and establish reliable retry mechanisms to handle task failures effectively.
  • Apply Knowledge Practically: Be equipped to apply the acquired knowledge to real-world projects, improving the efficiency and reliability of your Django applications.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Django Developers: Individuals with a basic understanding of Django who are looking to specialize in asynchronous task handling to enhance application performance.
