What is the difference between Celery and Kafka?

The question is about Celery

Answer:

Celery is a task execution framework designed for background job processing, while Kafka is an event streaming platform for high-throughput, real-time data pipelines. Celery is better suited for task scheduling and retries, while Kafka excels in message distribution and event-driven architectures.
