django-task-psql

A Postgres-native backend for Django Tasks (django.tasks, Django 6.0+).

Django 6.0 introduced an official interface for background task queues (@task, .enqueue(), pluggable backends via the TASKS setting). django-task-psql is a production backend for that interface, built specifically for Postgres: real queueing via SKIP LOCKED, LISTEN/NOTIFY wakeup instead of polling, and automatic retries with exponential backoff — no Celery or Redis required.

Built Postgres-only on purpose, trading multi-engine support for tighter integration with Postgres features (see django-tasks-db for a database-agnostic alternative).
