Orchestra is a job scheduler on top of Celery

0.6.2
PyPI

Maintainers: 1

Orchestra

Orchestra is:

an asyncio based job scheduler
using Celery (which is a distributed task queue) under the hood for running tasks/jobs
using scheduler under the hood which is a simple in-process python scheduler library with asyncio, threading and timezone support.

Dependencies

python >= 3.11.7
celery > 5.3.6
sqlalchemy > 2.0.25
psycopg2-binary
scheduler > 0.8.5
pytz > 2023.3.post1

Installation

Install from pypi:

pip install pyorchestra

Getting started

Schedule definition

- name: sample-tasks # optional name for this block, this has no bearing on how orchestra works whatsoever, you may name your blocks in any way
  module: tasks # this is the python module where celery will look for the task
  schedules: # a list of schedules
    - name: "short_task_every_1_second" # name of the task that shows up in the logs, *has to be unique*
      task: short_task # the function in the module decorated by `orchestra.task`
      enabled: false # if it's not enabled it will be ignored
      schedule: 
        timing: "every 00:00:01" # see the examples for a list of understood expressions
        timezone: Europe/Paris # name of a time zone from the tz database
        resume_from_previous: true # if enabled, Orchestra will attempt to calculate what would be the next run based on the last known run, false by default
      additional_options: # everything in this optional section will be passed to the celery task when invoked
        queue: background-jobs
      tags: # tags are list of string, they may be used to group together tasks
        - cpu
        - fast

Timing expressions

A list of examples of understood expressions:

every 00:00:01
every 48:00:00
every 31 minutes and 12 seconds
every Monday at 03:15:00
next Tuesday at 13:11:00
once, Wednesday at 01:15:00
once on Thursday, 00:31:41
every day at 09:15:14
every minute at 15 seconds
every hour at 05:00
every day on 9:03
every day at 9:15
every day at 13 hours
once in 13:11:52
11:23:00
9:13
2023-04-01 09:13
2023-04-01 09:13:11
next 23:00:00
once in 5 hours 2 minutes and 15 seconds
once in 1 hour and 10 minutes
once in 2 minutes and 10 seconds
once in 17 seconds
always

By default timing expression with only a time or timestamp (without date) like 11:23:00 will be interpreted as a time instant and will trigger the next time the wall clock shows the specified time.

Creating an instance

main.py

import asyncio
from orchestra import Orchestra

orchestra = Orchestra(
    broker="sqla+sqlite:///log.db",  # any Celery supported broker connection string will work here
    backend_conn_str="sqlite:///log.db",  # any SQLAlchemy 2 supported backend connection string will work here
    broker_connection_retry_on_startup=True,  # any Celery supported keyword argument can be passed through to Celery
)


@orchestra.task
def simple_task() -> str:
    return "hello world"


async def main():
    schedule_definitions = [
        {"module": "main",  # if you're using the same Python module to declare your Celery tasks and running the scheduler, then this has to be the module's name
         "schedules": [
             {
                 "name": "Simple Task every 48 hours",
                 "task": "simple_task",
                 "enabled": True,
                 "schedule": {
                     "timing": "every 48:00:00",
                 }
             }
         ]}
    ]

    await orchestra.create_schedule(schedule_definitions)  # you have to create a schedule first, optionally preload a schedule definition file
    await orchestra.run()  # run Orchestra


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())  # Orchestra is based on the scheduler package, which uses asyncio under the hood

The output would look something like the following:

[08:38:50] INFO     Job Simple Task every 48 hours was scheduled to  core.py:214
                    run 2 days, 0:00:00

You may also use a standalone python module for holding your Celery tasks, but you have to declare Orchestra there as well or import it from the main module:

tasks.py

from time import sleep
from orchestra import Orchestra

orchestra = Orchestra(
    broker="sqla+sqlite:///log.db",  # any Celery supported broker connection string will work here
    backend_conn_str="sqlite:///log.db",  # any SQLAlchemy 2 supported backend connection string will work here
    broker_connection_retry_on_startup=True,  # any Celery supported keyword argument can be passed through to Celery
)


def fibo(n: int):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    else:
        return fibo(n - 1) + fibo(n - 2)


@orchestra.task
def short_task() -> int:
    return fibo(10)


@orchestra.task
def long_task() -> int:
    sleep(10000)
    return fibo(33)

main.py

import asyncio
import yaml
from orchestra import Orchestra

orchestra = Orchestra(
    broker="sqla+sqlite:///log.db",
    backend_conn_str="sqlite:///log.db",
    broker_connection_retry_on_startup=True,
)


async def main():
    schedule_definitions = yaml.safe_load(open("schedule.yaml", "rt"))  # see the Schedule definition section for an example
    await orchestra.create_schedule(schedule_definitions)  # you have to create a schedule first, optionally preload a schedule definition file
    await orchestra.run()  # run Orchestra


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())  # Orchestra is based on the scheduler package, which uses asyncio under the hood

Adding jobs programmatically

async def hello():
    print("Hello")


async def main():
    await orchestra.create_schedule()

    # schedule a regular python function, this won't be tracked in the database and Orchestra does not support resuming such jobs in case of a shutdown
    orchestra.scheduler.cyclic(timing=datetime.timedelta(seconds=10), alias="Hello World every 10s", handle=hello)

    # schedule a Celery task function, Orchestra fully supports scheduling Celery tasks programmatically as well as through a schedule definition
    orchestra.schedule_celery_task(schedule=orchestra.scheduler.cyclic,

Using the API

Orchestra comes with a built-in API accessible by setting api_server=True on the Orchestra instance. You may optionally provide an api_address parameter to control which host:port gets bound by uvicorn.

import asyncio

import yaml

from orchestra import Orchestra

orchestra = Orchestra(
    broker="sqla+sqlite:///log.db",
    backend_conn_str="sqlite:///log.db",
    enable_api=True,
    api_address="0.0.0.0:5000",
    broker_connection_retry_on_startup=True,
)


async def main():
    schedule_definitions = yaml.safe_load(open("schedule.yaml", "rt"))
    await orchestra.create_schedule(schedule_definitions)
    await orchestra.run()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

You can check the Swagger Docs created by FastAPI at the specified api_address, which is http://localhost:5000 in the above example and by default.
