This document discusses using asynchronous tasks with Django and Celery. It explains why task queues are useful for processing tasks outside of request-response cycles like video/image processing or communicating with external APIs. It then provides an overview of how Celery works with clients generating tasks, a message broker managing the task queue, and workers receiving tasks from the broker to execute. Finally, it gives steps for integrating Celery with Django projects, including installing dependencies, configuring settings, creating task functions, and running tasks.
