django-absurd

Django integration for Absurd, the Postgres-native workflow engine. Runs Django's Tasks framework on Postgres — no separate broker — reusing Django's own database connection.

Alpha. APIs and behavior may change between releases.

Requirements

Python 3.12+, Django 6.0+
PostgreSQL with the psycopg (v3) Django backend (the Absurd SDK reuses Django's connection and requires psycopg3)

Install

pip install django-absurd

Quickstart

Add the app and point Django's TASKS setting at the backend:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_absurd",
]

TASKS = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_absurd.backends.AbsurdBackend",
    },
}

python manage.py migrate          # create the Absurd schema
python manage.py absurd_worker    # run a worker (consumes the "default" queue)

Define a task with Django's Tasks API and enqueue it — the "default" queue is created automatically on first use:

from django.tasks import task


@task
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b


result = add.enqueue(2, 3)  # returns a TaskResult; the worker runs it

Documentation

Documentation — full configuration and OPTIONS, workers, task parameters, retrieving results, admin introspection, querying queue state with the ORM, deployment notes, and adopting an existing Absurd database. Includes scheduling recurring tasks (beat and pg_cron schedulers) and durable workflows — steps, sleep, and events.
Runnable examples — three dockerized nanodjango demos (web enqueue+result, beat, and pg_cron), each with one docker compose up.
