For small stuff, rabbitmq and celery are hideously heavy to use. I had issues with celery-for bg tasks that are scheduled you could not execute further async requests in the tasks which was mind blowingly useless. This was years ago.
Nowadays for small stuff I just create a simple script that uses asyncio, I can async request stuff and run_forever etc and handle it all as a docker service.
