Django 6 Tasks Framework support #957
Description
Django 6 includes a new tasks framework.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/tasks/
It would be nice if django-structlog could work with this new system.
To be discussed.

There are undocumented signals (
task_enqueued,task_startedandtask_finished):https://github.com/django/django/blob/e49e14fd9032feb7a8cf254658ac4e74a4ffb712/django/tasks/signals.py#L13-L15
I made this diagram to show how it needs to work.
(It is similar to django_structlog celery's implementation.)
sequenceDiagram autonumber participant app as django participant broker as Task Broker participant django_structlog_app as django_structlog<br>(in App's Process) participant shared_storage as Shared storage participant django_structlog_worker as django_structlog<br>(in Worker's Process) participant worker as Task Worker participant task as Task %% Broker app ->>+ broker: Enqueue Task broker ->> django_structlog_app: Send "task_enqueued" signal django_structlog_app ->> shared_storage: Store context broker ->> app: Return task id %% Worker worker ->>+ django_structlog_worker: Send "task_started" signal shared_storage ->> django_structlog_worker: Restore context django_structlog_worker ->> django_structlog_worker: Log "task_started" worker ->>+ task: Start task task ->>- worker: Return result worker ->> django_structlog_worker: Send "task_finished" signal django_structlog_worker ->> django_structlog_worker: Log "task_finished"Django-structlog needs to have shared storage/cache between the app's process (See
Store Context (3)) and the worker's process (SeeRestore context (6)).In
django_structlog's Celery's implementation the data is stored directly in celery's message.Django's implementation uses
frozendataclasswhich prevents the code to change the task.We could use django's cache api.

Anyone knows a third party minimalist django task backend?
I need to test my implementation of the django task support.

https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/django-tasks-db perhaps?

I tested django-tasks-db and i faced this issue: RealOrangeOne/django-tasks-db#27 where their signals are not propagated to the django task signals.
That will be a problem with any worker based on
django-tasks.
