Yep, almost all of them were tasks that should be executed as soon as possible, but Celery also allows for you to schedule tasks at a future date, and deal with running scheduled tasks at a repeated time (every Sunday at 3am, etc.).

As for the price, I was just curious for the sake of wanting to compare it to the $20 / month DO set up.

Thanks for the answers.
