So I have this 2 applications connected with a REST API (json messages). One written in Django and the other in Php. I have an exact database replica on both sides (using mysql).
When i press “submit” on one of them, i want that data to be saved on the current app database, and start a cron job with celery/redis to update the remote database for the other app using rest.
My question is, how do i attribute the same worker to my tasks in order to keep a FIFO order?
I need my data to be consistent and FIFO is really important.
Ok i am going to detail what i want to do a little further:
So i have this django app, and when i press submit after i fill in the form my celery worker wakes up and takes care of taking that submitted data and posting to a remote server. This i can do without problems.
Now, imagine that my internet goes down at that exact time, my celery worker keeps retrying to send until it is successful But imagine i do another submit before my previous data is submitted, my data wont be consistent on the other remote server.
Now that is my problem. I am not able to make this requests FIFO with the retry option given by celery so i that’s were i need some help figuring that out.
this is the answer i got from another forum:
Use named queues with celery:
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#queues
Start a worker process with a single worker:
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html#starting-the-worker-process
Set this worker to consume from the appropriate queue:
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#queues-adding-consumers
For the fifo part i can sort my celery broker in a fifo order before sending my requests
