Can there be two celery instances in a django application?

Question

I have a use case of using two celery instances in a same django application. One celery instance is used for incoming events to the app and the other is to publish an event to an external django application. Doing this is making connections to the celery workers timeout and blocking both the instances.

Answer 1

Yes. As @schillingt mentions, just have two separate app instances and start the workers using the appropriate value for the -A flag.
