Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

Celery is a task queue for Python. There used to be an extension to integrate Flask and Celery, but with Celery 3.0, it became obsolete. Now, Celery can be directly used with Flask by just using a bit of configuration. In the Understanding asynchronous operations recipe, we implemented asynchronous processing to send an email. In this recipe, we will implement the same using Celery.
