Flask - Reddis example

This is a simple example of Flask and Reddis with a worker with some job types. It includes also rq-dashboard and/or redisinsight for monitoring the queue.

It consists of a queue service based on a micro api on Flask and an integrated Redis both running together, and a worker service that's just a base Python with rq as a dependency and a jobs.py script with just a collection of task that it can run.

   docker compose -p flask_redis up -d
