使Django chatbot应用程序与多个用户交互

Question

i have a django chatbot application on web faction shard host. the idea is : the chatbot application simulate the customer service in chatting with the customers.

Basically the conversation will be exchanged through the API using GET and POST, where it first POST the input then GET calls the python file to SELECT the input form the DB and process it then update the database with the retrieved out put.Finally a GET is used to fetch the out put and display it.

so far it is working for one user at a time, what i am considering now is that i want it to chat with multiple customer at the same time an isolating each user.

Do i have to use Redis just for the chatting part, if yes how i can merge it in my project? other there are other solution out there?

i have developed it using:

python3: for the chatbot code.

Django: for the website.

Mysql: for the data base, that hold the knowledge based for the chatbot such as a table that include number of input and it correspond output.

Thank you,

You can use Redis,Celery,Python RQ,Rabbit MQ as a queue for distributed tasks(chatting tasks) in your Django app. But this will increase complexity in your project. I will recommend you to Develop Python based multi client chat server.
