Nextflow: Data-Driven Computational Pipelines
I've considered using Nextflow for bioinformatics pipelines but have yet to take the plunge. At work, I develop a proteomics pipeline that is composed of huey¹ tasks (Python library; simple alternative to Celery) which either use subprocess to call out to some external tool, or are just pure python. It runs in a worker container which is created by docker swarm, and all containers pull jobs from redis. For our scale, it works great. However, I don't have control over the resource utilization of individual steps, and in the past I've had issues with the pipeline blocking as a result of how I was chaining tasks together. I think something like Nextflow would remove these limitations, but one thing I think I would miss is the ability to debug individual pipeline steps locally with an interactive debugger. As far as I can tell, Nextflow has logging/tracing facilities but nothing quite like an interactive debugger. I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong, or even that I'm doing it wrong.

Background jobs with Django
Other options are DjangoQ and Huey, which tend to work ok. Of the two I prefer DjangoQ. Database backed, don't require the Redis/Celery rigmarole.

What's the best thing you've learned about Django this year?
Funny, just this moment i finally switched from Celery to huey. And so far I don't regret. huey looks very promising, has good documentation and is well integrated into DJango. You should give it a try: https://github.com/coleifer/huey

What is a good way to run background tasks in django every day
I’m a fan of Django-background-tasks. Needs to be combined with a cron job to run the tasks in queue. https://github.com/arteria/django-background-tasks
What are some alternatives?
When comparing huey and django-background-tasks you can also consider the following projects:
celery - Distributed Task Queue (development branch)
KQ - Kafka-based Job Queue for Python
rq - Simple job queues for Python
django-rq - A simple app that provides django integration for RQ (Redis Queue)
dramatiq - A fast and reliable background task processing library for Python 3.
RabbitMQ - Open source RabbitMQ: core server and tier 1 (built-in) plugins
django_dramatiq - A Django app that integrates with Dramatiq.
mrq - Mr. Queue - A distributed worker task queue in Python using Redis & gevent
boltons - 🔩 Like builtins, but boltons. 250+ constructs, recipes, and snippets which extend (and rely on nothing but) the Python standard library. Nothing like Michael Bolton.
django-pgpubsub - A distributed task processing framework for Django built on top of the Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN protocol.
