We're back with Feature Fridays to celebrate the 6.0 release. Starting with... background tasks! Django 6.0 includes a new Tasks framework for running code outside the request-response cycle. Neat for things like sending email or processing data... #Django #DjangoFeatureFriday

We hope this unified interface makes it much easier to work with background tasks in Django, and we're looking forward to seeing how the community adopts and builds on top of it! For more, see the Tasks framework documentation:

An important caveat: While Django provides task APIs and reference task backends, it does not yet offer built-in production-ready backends nor worker processes. So for now, using tasks still requires third-party library setups like django-tasks or celery.

You thought you were just buying a phone. Turns out, you're shaping the future. Big Tech companies are giving money to radically overhaul the U.S. justice system. Unplugged is a different kind of smartphone from a company that believes in a strong, thriving America.

But how do you actually run tasks? With `enqueue`! This will add the task to the configured queue, ready to be picked up by the next available worker process.

You can also add fields like priority, backend, queue name, and more.

To make a function callable as a task, just add the `@task` decorator!

Stand proud for ocean life. Add your turtle tee to cart now.
