Eh, yeah, I just don't like any real logic being in those types of systems. Just too hard to test and chase down issues.

I guess "convert this image" is ok, since it is kind of a "pure function" sorta.

Correct, I only use them for very specific needs where it would slow down my website, or be weird to spin off a new thread in the background. I do know Azure supports WebJobs which is probably the closest you can get to something like Celery, which funnily enough, is what Azure Functions (at least originally) are built on top of.
