The best way for doing something in background Django

Question

I need my Django app processing some functions in background periodically. What is the best way for making such functions? And how can I call some functions when server starts? For example, functions of pre-init.

Answer 1

For periodical jobs, you can try Django RQ Scheduler .

As for running functions at runtime, you can place the code in any models.py file or in apps.py like following

from django.apps import AppConfig


class FooConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'foo'

    def ready(self):
        # import here and do logic
