run django microservice with while loop?












1














I have a django app running as a microservice. Which has a function which does the following:




  1. Checks for filenames matching *.json in a directory.

  2. for each file:


    • processes json data and converts to xml.

    • saves xml in target directory.



  3. Exits function.


Is there any reason i shouldn't do this to keep it running on a cycle:



While True:
main_function()


The previous developer was using threading which i think is making things far too complicated given there's no need to optimise performance.

          You might be looking for this:
          http://www.celeryproject.org/



          Celery is easy to understand and implement and should not take a lot of time.
          Let me know if it helps you.
