How to Run Functions in Parallel or in the Background in Django Without Using Celery/Redis?

I have a use case in my Django application where I want to run two functions in parallel or execute a process in the background. I don't want to use third-party tools like Celery, Redis, or similar services for this.

What I want to achieve:

Safely execute tasks in parallel or in the background. Avoid slowing down the main request-response cycle.

I've heard that making internal API calls via HTTP (e.g., calling Django endpoints from within the same project) can be a faster alternative. Is this true and safe?

I don't want this to effected by the GIL in python

Solution

  • Have you tried Django Q or multiprocessing. Both can be used to safely execute tasks in parallel or in the background. Avoid slowing down the main request-response cycle.
