| Fact | Django Q2 | Graphile Worker |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | The README installs Django Q2 with pip using the package name django-q2. | The package can be installed through npm, Yarn, or pnpm; global installation is not recommended. |
| License | The repository includes the MIT License. | The core Graphile Worker project is released under the MIT license. |
| Purpose | Django Q2 is a native Django task queue, scheduler and worker application using Python multiprocessing. | Graphile Worker stores jobs in PostgreSQL and executes them on Node.js so background work does not hold up application responses. |
| Scheduling | It supports scheduled, cron and repeated tasks. | Recurring tasks can use crontab-like scheduling with optional backfill. |

Pick Django Q2 if…
Django Q2 suits Django developers who need asynchronous task execution, scheduling, and monitoring in a self-hosted setup. Its listed brokers and Django Admin integration offer options for teams already working with those tools.
Pick Graphile Worker if…
Graphile Worker suits developers building Node.js applications with PostgreSQL who need scheduled background jobs and retry behavior. The maker describes it as a maintainable queue for regular organizations rather than a replacement for dedicated queues at Facebook scale.
