Background Task with Celery

Run Celery Worker

# please make sure you already set env variable for Celery message broker and result backend
(venv)$ watchfiles --filter python 'celery -A django_app worker --loglevel=info'

--filter python means watchfiles will only monitor Python file code change.

This command can auto reload Celery worker on code change, which is very convenient in the development.
