Nuvom gives developers a task engine they can trust: clean APIs, zero magic, and predictable behavior from local dev to production scale.
Nuvom is a modern task engine for Python that focuses on clarity, reliability, and flexibility. It’s simple to start, easy to scale, and built for developers who value predictable, production-ready behavior.
- Developer-first design — clean APIs, no magic, no surprises
- Pluggable architecture — use SQLite, PostgreSQL, Redis, or your own backend
- Cross-platform — consistent behavior on Linux, macOS, and Windows
- Static task discovery — AST-powered for speed and safety
- Built-in scheduling — one-off, interval, or cron-style recurring jobs
- Predictable in production — fault-tolerant workers and durable job persistence

- Implement custom queue or result backends
- Extend scheduling with custom triggers
- Add metrics, persistence, or monitoring plugins
