When delegating work to concurrent/asynchronous execution (tasks, workers, background processes), ensure: 1) **State ordering:** the async code cannot observe missing/partial state. For DB-backed workflows, enqueue/start tasks only after the transaction commits. 2) **Lifecycle safety:** concurrent worker processes must be cleaned up when the parent/master process exits so you don’t leave orphaned workers running. Example (transaction commit before enqueue): ```python from django.db import transaction def create_article_and_process(request): article = Article(...) # fill fields with transaction.atomic(): article.save() def enqueue_task(): process_article.delay(article.pk) transaction.on_commit(enqueue_task) return response_ok() ``` Checklist: - If a background task depends on data written in the current transaction, use a commit hook (e.g., `transaction.on_commit`) or equivalent “after commit” mechanism. - For prefork/worker pools or any process-based concurrency, confirm orphaned worker processes are automatically terminated when the main process exits (or add explicit supervision/termination).
