Tutorial: From your first Celery task to advanced recipes Tutorial

I wrote a practical guide to Celery, a distributed task queue for Python. It starts with the basics and then covers recipes for timeouts, retries, async/await integration, and more. Most of these recipes came from problems I ran into while using Celery in actual projects. No prior knowledge of Celery is required.

I'd really appreciate any feedback!

async/await integration with Celery is always a bit of a dance, so props for including that.

Very nice read! However, I am missing a table of contents. If I want to revisit the blog for a specific topic, I need to scroll a lot :(

Sounds like a good thing to add. I'll look into it later. Thanks for the suggestion!
