When would one want to use this, compared to, say, Celery?
1 comments

Celery is one of those popular solutions that is commonly used. However, it comes with a complex framework for describing workflows, which is often difficult to master, especially for younger engineers.

With Dispatch, you just write code, as if you would write a local program, and our scheduler can manage the distribution and state of the execution. Testing the code especially gets really simple.

Having a hosted scheduler also means that you don't need to deploy any extra infrastructure like RabbitMQ or Redis.
