I can't imagine why you would want a job processing framework linked to a single thread, which make this seem like a paid-version-only product.

What does it have over Celery?

The vast majority of tasks you use a job processing framework for are related to io bound side effects: sending emails, interacting with a database, making http calls, etc. Those are hardly impacted by the fact that it's a single thread. It works really well embedded in a small service.

You can also easily spawn as many processes running the cli as you like to get multi-core parallelism. It's just a smidge* little more overhead than the process pool backend in Pro.

Also, not an expert on Celery.
