• ✅ PostgreSQL database (Dockerized)
• ✅ RabbitMQ for background tasks (Celery-integrated)
• ✅ Celery task queue for async logging
• ✅ Gunicorn for WSGI-based production serving
• ✅ Nginx reverse proxy for HTTP routing and static file delivery
• ✅ Environment config with .env and python-decouple
• ✅ Swagger UI for API documentation
• ✅ Docker & Docker Compose for development and deployment
• ✅ Pytest-based testing with coverage reporting

• Python 3.12+
• Docker & Docker Compose
• (Optional) Virtualenv for local development

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env .

Run Django and Celery locally. Use Docker for DB & RabbitMQ only.

make dev    # using Makefile to create development envionment
pre-commit install && pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg -f
python manage.py runserver   # Run Django locally
celery -A taskflow_api worker --loglevel=info  # Start Celery

When a task is created via API, a background task (log_task_action) is triggered:

• Logs to logs/task_activity.log
• Format:

[2025-09-14 19:45:00] Task #12 ('Example Task') was created via Celery background task.

./run_server.sh

This command will:

• Build the Docker image
• Run Django with Gunicorn
• Serve via Nginx on port 80
• Collect static files into a volume
• Expose the full app on http://localhost/

Alternatively:

docker compose up --build

• Web App: http://localhost/
• API: http://localhost/api/tasks/
• Swagger Docs: http://localhost/docs/
• RabbitMQ UI: http://localhost:15672 (user/pass: guest/guest)
