FastAPI Background Tasks

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need for efficient background task processing in FastAPI applications, preventing long-running operations from blocking the main request-response cycle and improving application responsiveness.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multiple Framework Support: Integrates with ARQ (recommended), Celery, and Dramatiq for robust task queuing.
• Task Scheduling: Supports cron-like scheduling for periodic tasks.
• Async Operations: Enables asynchronous execution of tasks like sending emails, processing uploads, and data cleanup.
• Use Case: Implement a system where user sign-ups trigger an asynchronous welcome email and a background job to process initial user data, all without delaying the user's confirmation response.

Quick Start

Use the fastapi-background skill to enqueue a task to send an email to '[email protected]' with the subject 'Welcome!' and body 'Thanks for signing up.'.
