Is there a connection between this and the distributed task queue that I am missing, or do they just have the same name?

I seem to recall an article announcing this service incurring some developer ire a while ago due to choosing a name that clearly conflicts with an existing (and reasonably popular) service. Same confusion here, initially.

No connection. Just happen to have the same name.

Calling Celery a distributed task queue is like calling leather seats in a Mercedes a Formula 1 race car driver.

So it very well can be, but it isn't the state of the art? Maybe I should have said "self described distributed task queue."

It's trainer-wheels for people afraid of touching the stuff they're using.
