Hi, everyone, I have a few small functions in my Django app that query data from a website, for example. I would like to query the data in a certain period of time - once a day. Now I’ve researched on the Internet that “Celery” would be a good solution for this. Question 1: Is this a good solution - even for very simple requirements? Question 2: Does this work if I run Django Locally in development mode on my Mac Os? Thank you 🙂 ---

Either Celery / Celery Beats or a cron job will do this for you.

If you set it up to do so, yes.
